Detroit Aug 3, 2009; The U.S. Senate will make a choice this week, either to keep cash-for-clunkers alive and support small businesses or unwittingly declare war on small business by killing the stimulus package, while righteously attesting to misguided, ill-informed ideals.

Some senators wasted no time lining up in front of the cameras to assert opposition to the stimulus package over the weekend.

For example, Sen. Jim DeMint’s attempts to use cash-for-clunkers administrative problems as an example of why the government would not be able to effectively manage its proposed health-care system were disingenuous and nothing more than a cheap political trick.

Ironically, the very problems he pointed to are the fault of fellow lawmakers and not a federal agency. It was Congress which gave the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin. 30 days to create an unbelievably complicated program. What NHTSA pulled off is nothing short of heroic, despite the problems.
