I should have known where the crazy story about the Cars for Clunkers being a government plot to take over your computer and your entire life came from… How could I have not known. There is only one person that crazy and it is Glenn Beck again.
I wrote here before about how he is a total mental subject. Fox “news” needs to take him off the air. I am not saying fire the guy and make him and his family homeless. I am saying they should pay him when he is in the mental hospital and when he gets out and takes his medication they could put him back on the air.
He is going to hurt someone or he is going to hurt himself.
No one should even have to tell you that his crazy story is wrong wrong and just plain nuts.
He lies first off …the log on screen is NOT on the login page for you and I. He is talking about a log on screen for DEALERS, not even on cars.gov, that is for DEALERS intending to enter into a government financial system.
The log in screen he is talking about is at: supplierpayments.esc.gov
Now the wording of the warning is a bit strong but they are attempting to keep people from stealing money out of your pocket and my pocket.
Here is the entire wording of the warning and keep in mind you and I can not log into the site. It requires a number name and password.

We all are used to this type of wording. It is the sort of statements you have to sign when you do business with the government. They try and scare the hell out of you and make sure they got all their ass covered so if you do something wrong they can come back and nail your ass and you can not say in court but it did not say this or that.
It is sort of the same type of crap you have to “Agree to” when you buy a DVD or CD or a program except it is from a private company and we all just break the seal and agree to their stupid terms.
