The cost of insurance alone is too expensive. That's why my teenage sons can't get their driver's licenses.
When I was their age (30+ years ago), used cars could be bought for around $300-$400 apiece. And jobs were easier to find back then, too.
Remember that Hussein and his administration did his crony friends a favor and his leftist planners a boost and collected and demolished millions of good used cars. and people fell for it.
I’ve posted on other threads about the lack of cars for young people today; their jobs can’t support the related expenses - even gas. A few years back when I would go out on Saturday nights I was surprised at how many young people didn’t have cars (or full-time jobs - which they coveted) - and also how many had given up any hope of having a family or owning a home.
This is one of the many divisions exploited by Dems to keep their elected offices in their “divide & conquer” strategy (obviously without conceding their own role in hurting young people economically). They have turned women against men, takers against makers, secularists against people of faith, ethnic minorities against whites - and at least in 2008 - young people against older established people.
This certainly explains a lot in terms of how our way of life has been destroyed.
Adjust that for inflation and get back to me.
