Re: Cash For Clunkers
[ QUOTE ]
Jim, The morons gave the banking system billions with NO stipulations at all. Please vote them all out. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, last September-October President Bush ordered Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke to quickly rush 474 billion to the big banks and Paulson slyly tried to get it no strings attached and no oversight. Yes, we did vote then out. Well, Bernanke is still around. I heard the GM chairman say today that cash for clunkers was the most successful government stimulus ever.

Re: Cash For Clunkers
So I'm just in getting my morning coffee at Cumberland Farms, and I see two different guys I know who own mechanic shops talking crying about the economy.
So i go over and start to whine about the 'clunker bill' and they say ... 'what about us? Who do you think have been keeping those 300,000 cars ]clunkers] running? Now they are just gone...crushed...my shop is EMPTY.' So I think there are a lot of folks hurt by this deal...the trickle down has yet to be felt by many...

I guess those mechanics weren't doing a very good job if the cars they were maintaining were considered clunkers by their owners! [/ QUOTE ] That’s not the entire picture. And therefore it’s an erroneous statement. Simply put, a car can run well mechanically but still have a poor fuel economy rating. Also a mechanically” fit” car can still have very little economic value. These two examples can be considered clunkers regardless of the mechanics ability.

Re: Cash For Clunkers
What's going to happen to new car sales over the next few months? We've just encouraged every person who remotely thinking about buying a car to purchase one NOW! We have become spoiled and shortsighted as a country. Our Kids will be paying for these mistakes their entire life.m
