There is something very wrong about all of this. It is wealth re-distribution and socialism. This is only the introduction. This clunker thing reminds me of the govenment plowing under crops in the depression instead of harvesting OR killing all of those pigs (remember history). Guess what mindset was in office. You got it. Sooner than you think it is going to be common place for people, media, etc... to make fun is this administration. Guess what? They could care less because they have an agenda. Socialism. Do you think even Hilliary (sp) might be getting tired of this admin? For all of you that will be saying "talking points", how long will it be before you come around and see where this country is heading. And don't give me that Bush crap.

I think that's a bit over the top. This is about the economy, not socialism.
I would really love to hear from the folks in the White House what they think of all this though. Do they worry about the debt they are racking up? Do they think they can kick what they are doing down the road? Do they think this will help the economy? Are there political motivations to programs like this or is it honest to goodness alturism? I really don't know. I think what frustrates me the most is that, a lot of people are asking these kinds of questions. But I don't hear anyone coming back with any honest answers. That makes me a little skeptical.

30a, I know a little bit about economics and just a little bit of history. My biggest concern is why we are not doing what has been proven to be the best for our economy. Everyday (it seems like) something else comes over the news that is mind numbing. You want to just turn it off but you wonder what you are going to do next. I am a little scared for this country and from some of the comments I see on here you wonder if there are some 15 year olds trying to make a point.
I try not to be over the top but I see what I see, and it seems no one is minding the store except the ones with their hands out.

If we keep our driveable, dependable clunker, will someone from the government come visit our house late at night? Will we start getting weird phone calls? :shock:
Humm.

If the government truly wanted to stimulate the economy, they would lower taxes on the wealthy people in America and corporate taxes. You would see wealthy people businesses returning to America, thus creating more jobs, which in turn, puts more money in the pockets of not only the wealthy, but also the working class. EVERYONE ends up able to spend their own money, and not their grandchildren's money (like they are doing with this Cash for Clunkers program). The jobs would be legitimate, not just a job for the sake of giving out Federal money.

to date[fiscal 09] 915 billion dollars have been borrowed and spent to do nothing in iraq/afghanistan. the clunker program is 1 billion. it benefits us citizens and helps the auto industry/economy/environment. get some perspective folks. the 900 pound gorilla is peeing on the back of your neck.
