What’s more important? $3 billion or $350 million? According to a post from Eric Schansbert’s blog posted on the Indiana Libertarian Party’s website, the answer according to the Federal government is $350 million.

Schansbert, a two time Congressional candidate, argues the Cash For Clunkers program was a failure. The program cost the Federal Government $3 billion, but it only saved $350 million in gas money.

Horning going South...

Horning going South... to Texas. The Indianapolis Business Journal is reporting that the Libertarian Party of Indiana “stalwart” Andy Horning is leaving the state. He’s moving to Texas for a job – there’s no word on what job.

The report says Horning ran for Indianapolis mayor in 1999 and Indiana governor in 2000 and 2008. The report added, “In addition to mayor and governor, Horning also unsuccessfully ran for state representative in District 96 in 1996, Marion Countyrecorder in 1998, and for U.S. Congress in the 7th District in 2002, all under the Libertarian banner.”

Horning received 57,376 votes, more than 2 percent, in last year’s gubernatorial election.
