Re: "Cash for clunkers" another agenda scam
There's a lot of silly overreacting here. Let's take a second to remember a few things:
1. This program is only active through November, and I'm willing to bet good money that it will not have a noticeable impact on the used car market as it concerns desirable vehicles.
2. Who drives cheap, gas-guzzling cars worth less than $3,500 and has no business (but wants to) buying a new car? I'm thinking that this group overlaps heavily with Obama's voter base.
3. Not that many cars are eligible to be traded in, in fact the EPA just recently updated a hundred or so cars' rated combined MPG to disqualify them from this program.

That said, it's still a stupid program and it shouldn't exist. That doesn't mean I don't applaud 47_MasoN_47 for taking advantage of it and getting some of his tax money back. I would too, but our junker car has a rated 19 combined MPG (which is bullsh, but the EPA says what it wants) and is therefore not eligible. Such is life.
