"If the Obama wants to throw money in the air, I wanna catch some cuz it'll
make em go bankrupt faster".

So, you want to see this program go bankrupt? Or the Gov't under Obama?


It is clear this is budgeted as part of the auto bailout so it really
doesn't matter how you cash it in as long as a clunker is off the road
and you buy a new car. The real question is whether this will be a
"buy American" bill by the time it finally gets out of the House.
It doesn't help Detroit much if everyone buys an import.

If this does survive in it's present form I think old "Brownie" (1985
F150) may go down the road.
A new F150 would qualify for the $4500 (greater than a 5MPG delta).
That is about $3500 more than I could get for it in any reasonable
deal.

I agree 100% with what you're saying about "buy American". Since it's DC
(both parties) that have let the rest of the world slide when it comes to
fair trade what're the odds that they'll do what's right for America this
time?
And it sounds like the program is there for whoever wants to partake.
My post was a jab at the Rush Limbaugh like stupidity that a government led
by Obama falling in the crapper would be good for anyone. Wanting to see the
nation fall further in the hole because the dems are in charge this time is
not only a spiteful and childish tamtrum but also, in my eyes, very much
illustrates the extreme ends of both parties. To want to see the nation fail
because the guy dosen't like the leader? Insane.
