I am thrilled. We buy 1/4 million junkers and junk them for $4,500 each. Sheer genius. If that program is supposed to save the economy. We are in for deep trouble. My God. What imbeciles.

Liberal (Progressives) never were very good at math.

Remember, only dumbocraps come up with stupid ideas such as this.

What truly galls me is that many of those cars aren't “junkers.” Instead they're completely functional, older cars, many of which could probably be driven another 100,000 miles before being scrapped. For example, several years ago I helped an elderly cousin of mine sell a completely functional Honda Accord that was 8 or 10 years old for $3,000. It went to a college student who was able to use it for reliable transportation for a number of years. Multiply this by thousands and the Government is really sticking it to lower income citizens by denying them reliable, inexpensive transportation.

Even worse, the most valuable parts of the purchased vehicles, their engines and transmissions, are destroyed, eliminating an economical source of spare parts for other vehicles. This is the first time I've seen deliberate vandalism and wanton destruction of valuable resources that are particularly useful to low income people enshrined as national policy.

Now compute the sales tax and transfer fees and advolorium taxes that the sates will never see on those 1/4 million so called clunkers and the increased cost for a cheap car to poor people. The democrats have stepped in some deep doodoo.
