House approves $2B more in clunker cash

The Detroit Free Press reports:

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. House approved an emergency $2-billion infusion for the cash-for-clunkers program this afternoon, with a plethora of lawmakers from around the country calling it a runaway success that should not be ended.

But the head of the National Automobile Dealers Association warned dealers today that until the money was guaranteed, they could be on the hook for any cash-for-clunkers trades despite assurances from the Obama administration that deals through today will be honored.

Great moments in government.
