Cash For Clunkers- It Ain't What It it Says It Was

From Aol. com: "According to a survey of new-vehicle buyers who participated in the recent Cash for Clunkers program, more than 17 percent now harbor “some” doubt or “serious” doubt about letting a government subsidy convince them to go further into debt." Well, duh. When you are suckerred into bying because Obama says so, then you are going to buy something you can't afford.
But the kicker is this- it didn't save the enviroment:"CNW surveyed drivers involved in the purchase of the first 239,000 C4C vehicles. The average intended annual mileage was 10,894, up from the actual clunker mileage of 6,162. For those of you without a calculator falling readily to hand, that’s nearly double" Gee, people buy a new car and they drive it more than their clunker? Wow, what a shock.
The idiots in Congress and the White House said this will work. It didn't. The air is actually more dirty, people have more debt and now the car buying is not almost dead.
Yep, the are the same idiots who want to run health care and really have no clue.
