True, but when "cash for clunkers" was conceived, the concern was whether
there would be a "next month". *


This is the classic "giving a man a fish".


Pfffttt.. The concern was how to move more money to the Unions...

considering how many trillions we've given to the rich in the last 30
years, it's about time we gave money to the unions. they're the only
ones WORKING in this country. the rich have ****ed away our national
wealth AND made us pay for their losses.

These union workers have to report to somebody and that would be
management. Whether that management is big government or big industry it
is all the same.

Shame on people who develop a business and provide jobs. It would be
much better if the business had never started.

I'm not enthralled with the program, but I can't be too critical of
things that were done when we were facing "the greatest financial
situation since the Great Depression". One year later, I don't hear that
kind of talk, so, I guess, they did something right.

We did buy an "American" car but it was made in Canada


Well, there are a lot fewer Ford Explorers on the road today.

You may not be hearing it, but that is just the present administration
covering their ass. Unemployment is still increasing, there is all that
borrowed money to payback. Foreclosures are increasing and now it is not
the sub-prime loans, it is those that have lost their jobs and can not make
the payments.
