If any administration is in touch with those less fortunate, I thought this was supposed to be it.Billions of our hard earned tax dollars are being spent to buy and destroy these cars. Why not limit this program to US owned auto manufacturers? If it is truly meant to stimulate OUR economy, lets at least keep the money here.I think the intent was likely good at some point, but we don't need good intent; we need results. Come on Congress, you can do better than this.

As a skier, the warm winters we've had here over the last several years have me all for some environmental causes. I do cringe at the money our government spends, though. Of course, if the government bails out Wall Street and other big companies, bailing out the little guy for buying an old clunker pales in comparion. .-= Evan´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/40tech/~3/30DB2iPL9wg/" rel="nofollow">Evernote Windows Hack: Clip Web Pages as PDFs</a> =-.

The only good thing is that it's relatively small (compared to other government programs). Patti – yes, that’s definitely one of the flaws I see with the system.

That's the problem with America...citizens not making smart choices and the government bails them out. How are we ever going to get on track if the government keeps bailing out the uninformed masses?
