How the fuck was that program successful? The government took a billion from the taxpayers and redistributed it to a group of lucky bastards who happened to own old clunkers so they can buy new cars. There was absolutely no wealth created in the process, no new infrastructure...nothing. Just a possibility of minor positive effect on environment. For a fucking billion!


I would agree with you..but it was successful in the fact that they sold about $250,000 new cars. Outside of that, I agree with everything you said. The government..and the Odummy government in particular is top shelf in stealing tax money from working people and giving it to the lazy. In this case it might have actually benefitted a few people who actually pay taxes. But on the whole, I agree with you.
