Dr.B you always seemed like a guy who feels pretty strongly about enviromental issues....can't you see the irony in what they are doing with the cash for clunkers program? As I pointed out on the previous page, they are destroying vehicles that actually run and in return giving people credit to buy new cars. So what if they are more fuel efficient, the fact of the matter is this program is causing more polution with the scrapped vehicles.
And as for the stimulus part..... great more people are buying crappy american cars and helping to slow the epic failure of the auto manufacturers...but the whole plan is short sighted and it seems obvious to me it wasn't really thought out very well as TBO pointed out. What if these shitty "fuel efficient" American cars all break down in a few years....double epic fail? (I may be exagerating but you get my point)
These bandaid fixes are going to do nothing more then slow the gushing blood from the gaping wound for a few miliseconds.
