Another silly idea by the gov’t that didn’t change anything to any significant degree.

Sure it did.

It added 3 billion dollars of debt to the Federal Government’s ledger

And it destroyed thousands of cars that still had useful life in them. At a cost to the taxpayer of $24,000 dollars per car. The average rebate to the new car buyer was $4,000.

Drove up the cost of used cars putting private transportation out of the budget of many poorer citizens. The curse of market realities force upon the working poor by the Democrats once again.

If you had said it didn’t change anything of the better I would have agreed totally.

Government programs rarely change anything for the better in the long run.
