Conservatives were angry that local business, other than auto dealers, were not receiving stimulus assistance to boost local spending.

Well, your prayers have been answered. A federal "cash for appliances" program is likely on its way to a store near you before the end of the year.

Comparatively unnoticed in the economic stimulus package approved by Congress earlier this year was a $300 million program offering rebates to buyers of more energy-efficient appliances and other products with the Energy Star label.

Just like the recently completed cash-for-clunkers program, the more modest cash-for-appliances program is designed to boost the U.S. economy through consumer spending and take less energy-efficient products out of circulation.

Yet, it differs from cash for clunkers on key points. The individual states will run their own appliance rebate programs, and consumers will not have to haul their bulky appliances to a store in exchange for new ones.

Different states will likely propose varying rebate amounts, expected to range from $50 to $200.

If you are a true Conservative, write to your State Representative and tell them to stop this silly pay out of funds for appliances.
