Cash for Satire

Cash for Clunkers; you've got to admit it's a catchy phrase replete with alliterative genius. The creativity here is especially surprising, given that the name was likely concocted by a government bureaucrat. I guess it's not surprising that any government program with the word "cash" in it is going to draw some attention. I mean, who doesn't want to get some cash back from the government?

So, in honor of this paragon of government generosity, I propose that we extend the "Cash for" program to a few other sectors of the economy. I mean, why should the auto industry be the only one to benefit?

After all, if giving cash away for broken-down cars works, why not apply that same logic elsewhere? So, without further ado, let's take a look at a few industries that could use a little government stimulus.
