...the president's Council of Economic Advisors issued a report stating that the actual number of vehicle sales generated by the C4C program was about 330,000. The report concluded that about 200,000 clunkers would have been traded anyway, and another 160,000 units were shifted from June, September, October, November, and December sales. That means taxpayers actually are on the hook for about $9,000 per incremental sale. The Obama media ignored that bad news, leaving its audiences with the false impression from earlier reports that C4C led to incremental sales of 700,000 units, even after it had been refuted by the administration. Three billion dollars is a lot of taxpayer money to stimulate sales of just 56,000 cars -- over $50,000 each, and many of them foreign brands. As is so often the case with government spending, we got Trabant quality at Lincoln prices. www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/hit_and_run.htmlAnd you pinkos really want the government to run our healthcare.  |

Whatever your views on it you have to admit more people were in the showrooms looking at new cars. It was just another bailout for them. If The White House had the backing they could have killed all of those gas-guzzlers that were traded in and made the program acceptable only if you bought a hybrid or electrical converstion auto.

Why do you stay in this country if you hate the way it's run?
We did it when Bush took over.

You believe dissenters should leave the country TM?
Liberals really can't handle criticism. Like their Master, they choose to silence those who oppose.

Go look up how DEMOCRAT Grover Cleveland handled requests for Public projects...He basically verbally spanked them! This country is so far off of what was set up by our founders. The better question is that if you love the direction of this country currently why don't you move to any European country and enjoy what is coming now? |

You have no idea how the founding fathers wanted the country run. They didn't even believe the Unite States would last this long.
PC, I'm simply saying that if you hate the way it's run and don't care for the officals than leave.

GPG, I never said I knew what they wanted either. We can't all pretend that we all know what they wanted. You think that all the founding fathers agreed on everything and they all had the same idea and not even one of them had an ulterior motive? We will NEVER know what they wanted, so to say "The founding fathers never envisioned blah blah blah" makes one look like a jackass because we're not the founding fathers.
