What a farce! People who used it to buy a new car were going to buy a new car anyway. It was an effort to buoy up the Big Three, who still face big obstacles. They were just able to unload a large amount of the 2009 models that littered their lots. With the exception of Ford, GM and Chrysler are now run by the Fed. Again, what a farce!

It definitely is boosting the car industry in term of sale. But, at the same time, it is such a “waste of money” move by the government. We can call it a Spending Frenzy. Why? First, clearly, the environment issues will not be solved by “Cash for Clunker” program. Gasoline-fueled car will continue to damage the environment. Second, this program is the “good” way to contribute more to our nation outstanding debt. Third, during the recession, trading in our cars and buying new ones do not make any sense since there are many people are suffering and desperately in need for help.

In the area where I live, there was a lot of information about “Cash for Clunkers” on local and network TV. Numerous auto dealers had great sales during this program. However, it seems that the program ended almost a soon as it began!

I couldn’t use Cash for Clunkers because I would have no way to pay for a new car. I’m sure there are a lot of others who are in the same boat. Even the $4,500 incentive wouldn’t help me or them.
