Obama had far greater insight than we give him credit for.
As it has turned out, those 2nd hand cars weren’t needed. There aren’t jobs to go to, and no money for kids to just drive around.

Yes, many of the “klunkers” were decent cars that poor people could afford. So another unintended consequence was to take vehicles away from the poor that the liberals are supposed to be so concerned about.
