I’d rather see the money go to consumers to buy the cars. Then we know the cars would be build and used. I don’t like either option but I’d far rather see the consumers get the money. (That’s us, folks.)
Puts me in mind of this quote...
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Sigh.
