junker bill passes

Good Morning
How do you feel this morning about giving our money away in the form of vouchers for 3500 to 4500 dollars for trade ins?Maybe Mr. Obama should take the billions of dollars he is going to fund this fiasco with and invest in better technology for greener cars. I for one think that THAT would stimulate new car sales. A car or truck that would consistantly get 40-50 mpg,yeah thats the ticket!!! How rediculous is it that you can get 3500 for upping you gas mileage 2 mpg on an SUV or 4500 if your new SUV gets 10 mpg more? So, if you are driving and old suburban that gets 8 miles to the gallon and you get a new one that gets 11 mpg you get 3500!! It doesn't matter if your old suburban was ready for the junkyard and had 250,000 miles on it , you still qualify! Kinda sad dontcha think. Worse is that we the taxpayers and ultimatly the ones who are paying for these vouchers are letting it happen and have no say in the matter.
When was the last time you bought a new car? Maybe you didn't because you had college tuitions to pay for, or student loans or just getting by day by day and had to patch the old girl together just one more time. Where are the incentives for used car sales? I guess Mr. Obama can't think past New Car Sales even though used car sales and dealers are part of the make up of the automobile industry.

  1. I think it is high time that we remove most politicians in Washington and banish them to Borneo. They are the most insane bunch of nuts ever put together. Very few patriots among them. Obama is the chief nut supported by the mostly cowardly, truth twisting media that ever existed in this country. The people who voted for Obama, and who are now beginning to oppose his financial agenda, have no one to blame but themselves. Get ready for the coming of the higher taxes such as electric, gas, beer etc

  2. $3500 sounds like a good deal for my old car thats worth only $1000. I would be pretty happy with that.
