Looks like a little loop hole in the tax credit for buying electric vehicles in many states will let you buy a new Electric Golf cart for almost free, thanks to the Stimulus Bill. Maybe someone should have read it.

What's the problem? Golf carts don't take up much fuel, and they're great for people who never really go anywhere outside their communities.

edit: From the article...

Of course we know that if/when Obama does something like this the partisans will complain anyway.

When for one thing, they have no where near the required safety features.

The CEO's of the Golf Cart companies are kill children for profit! Children!

It probably varies from state to state. They obviously wouldn't be alowed on state highways, much like scooters and mopeds are restricted, because they can't get up to the minimum speed required.

Also found this after 3 seconds of google searching:

Electric Vehicles: The World is ready for a road-worthy Low Speed Vehicle

Well, it's apparently just the government giving money away -- to golf cart sellers. I mean, that's easy to do I guess.

I'm hoping they come up with a free airplane program. I always wanted to learn to fly, so maybe after I get laid off, I'll have time to take lessons paid for by a retraining program and then the government can give me a plane, with a credit card to get fuel and repairs and stuff, and then I can fly to the south pacific where I hear the island are really cool. I guess it will have to be a sea-plane, right?

Thanks, Uncle Sam.

a former taxpayer.

well, as long as its an electric aircraft I bet you can slip it into your tax forms somewhere.

Because driving around in a golf cart is more fuel efficient. That's just my assumption though.
