We often have debates on this site about how expensive HD games are, and when it comes to games like Grand Theft Auto 4 people have difficulty comming to terms with it costing $100,000,000 and representing 1,000 Man-Years of labour ... With the deficit from the US government this year they could develop nearly 20,000 games with a budget similar to Grand Theft Auto 4.
On top of that one would think that the bureaucratic nightmare that is the cash-for-clunkers program might give the government (and its supporters) pause before re-organizing 1/6 of the economy; but no one seems to have the common sense to demonstrate that the new system will work before implementing it on a large scale without consideration of the effects.
