Obama witholding data on Cash for Clunkers while pressing Congress for more money

[Timothy W.]

Isn't this surprising out of a Chicago politician? The administration refuses to release data on the "success" of the program, but is telling congress it needs more funding.

I don't know about you but when I go to a bank for funding and refuse to give them data on my past performance - it works like a charm. :roll:

In a way....why not? If congress isn't going to even read legislation before spending money then why should they give a rip about whether or not the legislation is working before spending more money on it?

I'm getting the feeling that some people in the media are getting a guilty conscience.
