Who's running this show? I thought it was a Congressional program. Congress says we're out of money, White House says go ahead and sell them. Who are we supposed to believe?
What I want to know is when are we supposed to get paid for the ones we've already submitted? |

House approves an extra $2 Billion for CARS - Senate to vote next week
A Bloomberg report indicates that the House of Representatives has approved a bill which would provide another $2 Billion for the CARS program. The Senate will address the issue next week.

We're putting on the brakes until Monday. Want to see what the Senate actually does and make sure there aren't any additional restrictions. Since we only have one Avenger, one Caliber and one Patriot left I doubt we'll miss any opportunities.
