Got his from a blog athttp://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2331218/posts Hard to argue with the math: "Here's some math from your stories that the average clunker got 15 mpg and the average replacement gets 25. · A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. · A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year. · So, an average clunker transaction reduces U.S. gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. · The total is about 700,000 vehicles - so that's 224 million gallons / year. |

Most of the bailout money just vaporized into thin air. Does anyone know where all that automaker bailout money? Even more difficult to trace is the financial industry bailout. I wonder if those executives ever got their bonuses. The clunker program hasn't done so well either. Mis management of the program has left the dealers holding the empty bag. Hopefully they will eventually get paid. |

Hate to tell you, but the first bank bailout happened during Bush's administration. Are you going to blame the president for that too? -- Nom=de=Plume |

Why didn't bama learn from Bushes mistake and demand some accountability instead of making the same mistake again? |

There's much more accountability in the more recent bailouts. -- Nom=de=Plume |

I agree! But, there are some that only want to blame Obama or Bush. Instead of blame, how about looking at the facts, what happened, and how to fix it? Nahhh... too straightforward. -- Nom=de=Plume |
