can get $ 4,500 for nothing to buy a subsidized Obama Motors car!

Americans should hope for success as we try to emerge from the debacle
of private sector excess. What alternatives have been put forth by the
private sector? If you don't have alternative plans we will have to go
with what has worked elsewhere. Europe apparently has seen success with
programs similar, though much less restrictive. The restrive nature of
this program can be considered a concession to conservative whiners with
no alternative plan offered.

[This
will turn out to be a botched opportunity -- especially if the
corruption I predict comes to pass -- simply because the czarist regime
asked no one for help in creating this program.
This is a case in which complete government control could have created
jobs and tax revenue while helping to sell some cars and making carguys
look good in the process. But they dropped the ball in favor of being
formulated and bureaucratic. - ED]
It
seems to me that logically, if we the little people, had money to buy a
new car, WE WOULD HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY! So they give you $4,000 off a
$35-40,000 car. Well guess what! Once you get your tax break, you still
have a LOT of money to pay for that over priced vehicle and we you loose
your job, you will still have all that money to pay. Big frickin deal
all right!

around.

[Forgive the carguy lingo but,
ironically, the way things are going a credit criminal with a $4500
downstroke may have as good a chance of getting hocked as a stand-up
guy who's upside-down in his slick trade. That's Obamanomics for
you. -ED]
So they are going to crush the engines. This
will increase the cost to one who needs a cheap way to keep their
present vehicle running by only replacing the engine. Not everyone
has it in their budget.

My 13 year old dodge does not
qualify....why?...because according to the "cash for clunkers" plan,
your mpg when the car was new had to be less than 18mpg. According
to the website to find out if your car qualifies, when new my car
got 19mpg!! And the website states clearly with (!) symbol,that this
mpg was ADJUSTED!!
NOTHING NICE & EASY!!!!

Have you read the entire law? It is quite
specific as to what can and can't be done with the clunkers, who
will oversee the program, and what the consequences are for
violations. What are you whining about? Seems to me you're
clutching at straws to criticize a program that may increase your
income considerably with increased car sales. The CARS.com
website states; "Keep in mind that we are still in the process of
finalizing the rule for the CARS program." The program may have
flaws, but at least wait until it is underway to begin the wingnut
rants.

[Part of my point is that no one has
read the entire law and there isn't a government or private website
that is definitive -- least of all as it regards the degree to which
the "clunkers" are to be scrapped or how the process of scrapping is
to be accomplished. You want to be the jailhouse lawyer, Jerbel?
Figure this one out:
What happens if Mr. Jones leaves his '86 Ramcharger with the selling
dealer and the truck gets stolen from the dealer's lot before it
gets to Sanford's junkyard? You can read cars.com "law" all you
want, but if you're trying to protect a business in this Obama
economy you'd better know what your liabilities are. -ED]
I am starting to agree with your
Obama theory. He made an early push, but since has fallen off the
radar of recovery that he promised us all through his campaign.
Where and what might he be thinking, 'Obama has me wondering. It's
here, but where? good post eddo.

It actually sounds like the
car dealer is expected to pick-up any overages above the $50
and who is going to keep track of all the VIN's, sellers and finally
the end owner of the car in order to prove it was actually
'junked.' I realize that honest and truthful information is
obviously limited and having worked for a
government agency, there is a reason for it.
