The End is Almost Near …
At least for the “Cash for Clunkers” program. Even with an infusion of $2 billion more dollars expectations are that the program will run out of money on Monday. First we bail out the auto industry with tax dollars. Then we bail them out again by offering tax money to pay for people to buy their old inventory. People are going into more debt by purchasing a new vehicle. The positive environmental impact of the program is non-existent. And yet the masses are happy? Why? Ignorant? Short sited?
For those who are looking to purchase a new car but your old car doesn’t apply to the government program check out what some car dealers are doing. They’ve created their own car stimulus package.
This is probably already viral but it’s a double edged sword. It makes me want to bang my head on the shear stupidity.
But it’s also funny ala Jay Leno’s Jaywalking.
I gotta go find some vegetable trees.
