One billion dollars is a drop in the bucket of our current federal budget.

That's less than one days spending in Iraq.

When the car dealers and financiers start raising hell they will jump start it.

I'm doin the math ...since my govt has pulled the plug, i am shippin my old Towncar to germany ...figurin in shipping and handling and extra bungee cords to lash it to the deck of the next rock-and-sand barge leaving the International Port of Little
Rock, i will owe 7 euros net. Okay, i am gonna need to go in with a couple of others to make this work .

CatmanDo (i like that name by the way), maybe you could see if the salty parrot ? or whatever the mayor's latest floating toy was called, is available to tow your lincoln towncar to germany. I dont expect its doing anything else, although I cant say as to how I keep up with it personally.

isnt this program going to encourage a lot of people to spend way more money on a car than they would have ordinarily? nobody really needs a brand new car. the cash for your clunker wont make all THAT many payments on a new car.

This is crazy. The government is terminating a program because it has been successful. As eLwood pointed out, this is "a drop in the bucket of our current federal budget." The improvement in fuel efficiency and air quality has long-term health and economic benefits for this country. This could be more effective than the oil companies' drill-drill-drill short term solution mentality. Oops, now I understand why it's being cut. Nevermind .....

Can you use the rebate as a down payment? Is has to be a new car, right?

Nanc- details on 'cash for clunkers' aka Car Allowance Rebate System at blue name. It's a good deal for folks who qualify.

Max's hero, Paul Krugman, gets owned.

it would take an illiterate rwinger, palinite to fall for such an example.

7 people out of how many?
