gyrfalcon what part of “RECORDED”, “SHARED” “FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS” DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?????
That means ALL their customers INFO, all THEIR personal info, including any & ALL private photos and all their PERSONAL-PERSONAL info from their personal PC-laptops when they are catching up their work at home!!!!!!!!

Glenn Beck is a spokesman dolt like Rush. First of all this agreement is ONLY for the DEALERS WEBSITE!

Even then READ THIS SLOWLY…

When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a Federal computer system and is the property of the United States Government.

I watched the show and Glenn Beck made it very clear to the viewers that only the dealerships were seeing this agreement statement. Then over the weekend the statement was removed and the White House said they were working on it. I’ll just bet they are.

For Pete’s sake, what don’t you understand Amy?

You can’t just ‘wander into’ the dealers section and log in. Do you have a Dealer’s account and freaking password?

Sheesh!

I sold autos for 5 yrs in early 90′s.
I have a good friend who is the finance mgr for the Chevy dealer here. HE is who told me about this yesterday am when I was in the Auto Mall next door getting my Hummer serviced and he showed me on the Chevy company computer. He works long hours, and takes his work home with him. He and his old lady goes to Galveston a lot and he takes his laptop with him to catch up on his work.
(when a clunker is TRADED IN , they do the transaction and all the paperwork with the customer, but they are extremely BUSY and he has to take the trade-ins files home with him to process on the CARS.GOV site)
He was catching up on the cash for clunkers crap and when he logged in with his dealer login is when he saw that scary crap.

DEALER – AMERICAN…. ALL THE DAMN SAME!
NO ONE wants ALL THEIR FILES, PC, ETC to be PROPERTY OF THE US GOVT, to be SHARED WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTS, DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN !!!!

He had been discussing it with other F&I guys and even dealers and they are all PISSED about it. most were even turning away the clash for clunkers deals so they wont have to login to that CRAP.

Also, Glenn Beck DID SAY it was on the site for DEALER LOGIN when they click SUBMIT A TRANSACTION!

ALL you IDIOTS who don’t know what you are talking about… just SHUT UP till you have the CORRECT INFORMATION !!!!

NO they are not working with the government. My girlfriend, who is a rep for an auto finance company, said this program is a disaster for dealerships.

Huge rip-off from Obama’s Thugogracy.

Beck DOES say it’s the Dealers’ tab, but ANYONE, as I understand it, can go to that tab. If you were looking at this program, and there was a tab for dealers, wouldn’t you be CURIOUS what was in there? Like maybe you’d want to see what the gov. was telling them? I think a lot of people weighing that option might do it just to see what was there.

Even still, it is a problem in terms of what info is contained on the DEALERS’ computers. Think abt all of the info that is there. People’s personal info. And why would any foreign agency have access to that? Just wondering…

Interesting….and sure, I do think the Democrats are abusing the sincere beliefs of the “left” however you want to call it…I just think that not all people who call themselves progressive now consider themselves to also be socialists/communists. It seemed to be a word that came into vogue in the 90s because liberal got to be too played out.

I should also add in an effort to be more clear, I understand that there are many, many people who are sincerely interested in a better world through being smarter in how we treat our environment, but many are being lied to and fooled by those in power now. Obama, Pelosi, and the rest don’t give a hoot about what’s best for everyone, they are only concerned about what they want…as much POWER as they can possibly get. And if they can achieve this goal by claiming to want healthcare for everyone, or a better environment through Cap and Trade, then that is what they will push for.

Historically, the communist/fascists did use the term ‘Progressive’ for themselves. I noticed in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, ‘Progressive’ is used to describe the people who believed in big government. ‘Liberal’ is another word used by the far left who traditionally are not liberal.

The marxist/socialist/communist types are always trying to change the meaning of words to confuse or fool people as to their real agenda.

Obama, Pelosi, et al are perfect examples of saying the opposite of what they intend.

I agree.

But they are allowed to do it because they are a business and use it for “marketing” purposes.

Oh, what we allow for the sake of the almighty dollar…

Ok folks, I have my regularly replenished supply of Tin Foil ™ but to be worried about this is silly.

A. It’s for dealers ONLY. You can’t get to that screen to hit Continue unless you’re 1) a dealer and 2) you’ve activated an account.

B. As one who has just made use of this program and saved $7000 to dump off a clunker and get a brand new car, the form the sales guy filled out to get the car to the salvage yard was 1) on paper, and 2) did NOT have my/our info on it. It was only the VIN, and mileage. (and yes, of course with some normal DOT use, you can connect the VIN to us, but that’s NORMAL.)

and moreover,

C. If the government really wants to get to your info, they can get to it anytime they want. They don’t need some stinking web form to get control of your system.

D. The foreign government deal is because of the connections with Canada and Mexico. If someone is scammed this clunkers for cash program, there needs to be legal ways to involve CA/MX govts for their aid.

So, this is typical Glenn Beck showmanship and perhaps someone’s fear that a lot more people might buy some more efficient cars.

Finally, if you wanna see Orwellian, try wrapping your head around how Google keeps track of 1) ALL of your searches and 2) what you visit. So that one private company has more data about you than any government agency will EVER have. Period.

Just think of the information they’ll have if they succeed in computerizing all your medical records in the new Health Bill.

Personal, PRIVATE information.
