This is a complete waste. Then they crush them after this. So far, the number one car being sold from this program is the Toyota Corolla. Great way to stimulate US auto makers (I know the Toyotas are made here now).
Am I the only one who sees a repeat pattern here? Doesn't this program seem familiar? Wasn't there some other program that tried to stimulate the market by getting people who can't afford something into debt for something they can't pay for? Wait, wasn't that the housing program?! Isn't that what caused this problem? I wonder how the used car market is going to look after they reposses cars from people who can't afford them?

Just a thought,
Mike

Talking about car makers, heres another one. Remember when the CEOs of GM and Chrysler got yelled at by congress for the nerve they had to show up in company jets? Take a look at this. These aren't bottom of the line or even middle of the line.

This is a complete outrage. Years ago I was a mechanic. Telling people to destroy a vehicle in order to qualify? These are the same politicians who put together the legislation for the mortgage industries. They are telling dealers to COMMIT FRAUD.....

Lets see. By them burning up the engines and the polutnts that are expelled??? Wow thats green.... This is teaching and condoning FRAUD.... I cant believe this is where the great USA has come to ....

Blessings,

Has anyone seen the news reports about the government information web site regarding the clunker program? Do not log on to the site. It has a disclaimer about your computer being considered part of the government network and while logged on it is their property. They have wording in the disclaimer about being able to observe, audit, sieze, share(with both foriegn and domestic agancies). It basicly says they own your computer and all information inside it when you log on. It also gives them the ability to track everything you do after. I am not a conspiracy thinker, just sharing what I saw on a news report.

I see that Chrysler/Fiat/UAW's new Italian tin can car will be built in...Mexico!! I also see that GM/UAW/US GOV's new tin can car will be built in...Asia!! What a great way to help out the US economy. In a way it's kind of funny because who helped bring down GM and Chrysler? The UAW. And now they are getting screwed by the guys that got elected, the hardcore left. Ain't karma a bitch?
