If you understood economics and had been paying attention to what is going

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The House on Friday passed a bill to allocate
another $2 billion to the Cash for Clunkers program.

The move came after reports on Thursday had raised concerns that the program
was out of money.

The bill which diverts $2 billion from a U.S. Department of Energy program
loan guarantee program, passed 316-109. The bill will face tough opposition
in the Senate, which is expected to take up the issue next week.
