Basically just another bailout for the automakers. It helps communities. for three months. I'll say it again. we need lasting growth and development, not a bunch of really, really expensive bandaids. Yes, we do need lasting growth. But...three months or more is better then no months, in my eyes. |

People that don't like this administration won't find any thing good in it. Was the same way for every other president. Not sure why we bother. and people that love it will never see the faults. Then there are those of us that realize that they are still politicians just like Cheney and Bush with a different agenda and suck just as much. Besides, it's a lot more fun being in the middle watching the idiocies of both sides. There's just no pleasing you.. lol I could say that those that hate it will never see the good points either, but in the end neither of use know for a fact if it all works out or not.

The environmental cost associated with building a new vehicle outweigh the savings associated with increasing your fuel consumption by anything but an astronomically high number (think 150%). So unless people are trading in old Suburbans for Vespas, you'll be hurting the environment more than helping it.

Blah blah we give Israel 2.3 billion in aid every year, give aid to US workers and Industries and the right wing starts foaming at the mouth. What a joke.

My car wasn't accepted for the program.

It's unconstitutional and a total waste of resources, not to mention it props up failed companies that should've taken the losses(fascist style).

While under way with passengers on board...(i.e it was absolutely necessary to fix it). Held together 2 hours... IF a quick fix will allow time for a good fix go for it. |

Yes, we do need lasting growth. But...three months or more is better then no months, in my eyes. with no real benefit in the end? it's like eating a $3B ice cream cone. It was good while it lasted, but in the end, all you have is a decaying pile of ****. |

That was never brought up here and is totally off topic. I haven't seen anyone say that was needed either (because it's not). One waste of money does not justify another. And this is not aid to the worker, this is a very inefficient transfer of funds to the corporations and a couple months of work. There is no long-term benefit and no long-term help here. It's just a complete waste of money. |

Personally; I believe it has only one positive: stimulating the auto-industry. The negatives are obvious as in; environmental impact. Let's keep it clear and concise. I'm down for some debating! Cash for Clunkers is a hoax. A short term effect on a dead economy. More Government intervention. Cars, Health Care, Houses...and on and on. |

A short term effect is better then a no term effect, IMO.

A short term effect is better then a no term effect, IMO. but at what cost? when it's over, we are literally back at square one while removing affordable cars from the marketplace and providing only enough employment to last through the program. We blow $3B for I'm betting half that in actual temporary gain. I can give a million reasons why it's a bad idea, but the only responses I get are that it provides jobs and income and the fact they're both very limited in scope and time gets completely left out. |
