I dont know if theres any truth to this, you can make up your own mind...
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqfuZ7hiap0]YouTube - Glenn Beck: Cash For Clunkers is a government scam to gain access to your computer[/ame]
 
No, there isn't any truth to it. The website they show is the one that the DEALERS use to access the program-related filings and whatnot, not end customers. Also, Glenn Beck is an idiot.
 
The broadcast was a bit alarmist. Read here:

snopes.com: Cash for Clunkers

Excerpt from above link said:
In short, there was once a poorly-worded privacy statement on the CARS.gov site, but it never applied to ordinary consumers visiting the site (just dealers), and it has since been changed. Consumers visiting the CARS.gov web site do not (and never did) have to agree that the federal government can own or take control of their computers.

While I agree with Beck's political philosophy most days (libertarian), he is, frankly, a crazy nut job. Though his show is interesting to watch for the entertainment factor!
