Cash for clunkers... the bottom line.

[Zachstar]

What on earth? I can tell you from just my part of the world that the program was a success. Cars were flying off lots here. Just because your part of the world you had people still holding onto cars that get Zip MPG. Does not mean we do.

It did its job which was to help the auto industry while giving the people something at the same time. Or would you rather it had been another bailout?


Despite fake "Fical conservative" fantasies. Even W had to see we had to do something about the auto industry. I was against it at the time because they had shown a marked resistance to change. But Ford changed its tune real quick and GM is changing as well.

This program also did its job of jump starting local business. People around here were freer with their funds further helping smaller businesses during the time.
