Two Out of Three is Very Bad
“Cash for clunkers” is apparently predicated on two of the three most common lies:
- “The check is in the mail.”
- “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.”
Heaven help us.

“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.â€
Ronald Reagan called the phrase “the nine most terrifying words in the English language†in 1986.
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – Some New Mexico auto dealers have backed out of the cash-for-clunkers program and more may do so as the federal government takes its time providing cash reimbursements.
Dealers across the state are owed more than $3.6 million, according to a dealers’ group which says that so far Uncle Sam has only written three checks totaling about $14,000.

S/O, KMcC–Uhm, that’s the clean version. LOL. Thinking about the “respect” version, I debated about whether to say three out of three, but I figured that the gov’t seldom even feigns respect, so it would have been implausible.
But it’s “wildly popular” 🙂
