It saddens me to think about all the great cars that have been destroyed. Why crush them? Think of how many people would have benefited from being given a good running car through a charity or church organization? I know his liberal agenda for wanting those cars off the street, but damn what a waste. Yet another waste of tax payer money.

Stupid and I do not recall funding of a program like this being listed in the enumerated powers of the Constitution.

I start to wonder if the "unintended consequences" are really unintended.

I think it was a bad program way to many cars that the middle working class need got taken out of the system.

Commerce clause? (purple?)

Best thing about cash for clunkers is, that it got rid of all those obama stickers

I was waiting for that!

Couldn't agree more with the stupidity.

But, stupid is as stupid does.

Thank you, Forrest.

don't forget that people probably went into debt for the cars that were traded for

Cash for clunkers was stupid,although I did get a lot of good parts off of those cars.

 

[HeadlessRoland]

when I think of all the liquid glass poured into classic or antique engines and breaking those very engines of those cars made here in America it boils my blood until only battery acid runs through my veins. never attribute to stupidity what are clear acts of malice.

It made my life difficult when I was searching for my first car. I had a budget of a 1000$ and finding anything halfway decent would have been very doable before cash for clunkers, after it was not easy.

Not only did the tax payers get hosed but it also took away a lot of business for car repair shops.
