cash for clunkers done.........it didn't take long for another billion blown....

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The Department of Transportation is temporarily

suspending its cash for clunkers program from midnight Thursday because Obama

administration officials believe the $1 billion allocated to the scheme has

been exhausted after just one week, according to several congressional

sources.

DOT officials were contacting lawmakers offices Thursday evening to inform

them that the program would be at least temporarily halted, the sources said.

The plan went live on July 24, and it was anticipated it could take several

months for the $1 billion designated by Congress for the program to be

exhausted.

Instead, it has taken less than a week.

DOT officials believe all the money may have been spent, but want to suspend

the program at least temporarily to allow all transactions to be processed.

If it emerges that there is still money remaining, the program could be

reinstated.

Cash for clunkers allows individuals to trade in older, heavier polluting

vehicles for newer, cleaner ones. It was authorized as part of a $105 billion

legislation to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The measure was intended to spur sales at U.S. car makers and to take heavy

polluting cars off the roads.
