Good points, camusaret. Car welfare, plain and simple. How about cash for knick knacks around your house? We could call it Cash for Clutter. :-) Think of all the ways it would stimulate our economy. and help people get that much needed second bird figurine or whatever their desire is.
Larry Summers, arrrrgggghhhh. He’s so hard to watch! We only expected to get 10% of the total jobs we wanted to get from the stimulus, in 2009. Great planning!
Gregory pushing him on the 8% unemployment figure that they were trying to avoid. Summers, we didn’t know how bad the economy was last winter.
Summers goes on to spin how many jobs have been saved. (We prevented cops and teachers from being laid off.) Saved jobs....yeah, that’s really measurable!
Washington Post today. Very critical of the clunkers bill and thinks that maybe the washing machine industry could use an incentive too. More than a little sarcasm from the comPost.
Cash for Clunkers — for the rich isn’t it??
Remember you still have to have the money and be able to get the loan for a NEW car. Even a Obamamobile.
The cluckers have to be destroyed, not repaired and resold.
