Stimulus is bad, but stimulus that actually works is even worse!

August 9, 2009 at 7:08 PM #442969ralphfurleyParticipant[quote=SD Realtor]It was not a perfectly good idea, it was perfectly stupid. It has nothing to do with incentivizing people to help the environment. Are you kidding me? It was an ill conceived idiotic idea. First off it is a subsidy for an already ailing auto industry that already had been pumped full of govt money. It also was a pathetic attempt to help people spend more money when people should be saving money rather then incur more debt. Finally it has done nothing but provide a strong bump in sales and clog the already overclogged landfills with many cars that were nowhere near ready to be destroyed.
I am amazed that this could be considered a great idea by anybody.

C4C is a drop in the bucket compared to the other stuff that’s going on.Of course it’s another handout to the auto industry. Of course it’s a waste. But people like to buy new shit they don’t need. This gave them reason to do it. I bet a couple months down the line, the majority of folks will be wishing they had their clunkers back in favor of a monthly auto payment.
