Cash for Caulkers

Step aside “Cash for Clunkers,” make way for “Cash for Caulkers.” Reuters reports, "The White House is reportedly considering rolling out a two-year, $23 billion program to encourage homeowners to undertake weatherization projects such as adding air sealing, insulation and energy-saving light bulbs."

Wait a minute! I thought that was something that a homeowner should be doing in the first place. And, where is the government going to get the $23 billion in the first place to finance this fiasco? I know this is just a rhetorical question, but I had to ask it anyway.
