I have mixed feelings over this one I do agree with Am American that people should keep cars much longer my old Volvo Is ten years old and runs great I feel no need to chop her in.

I saw a great line in a ad on US tv which went

In todays economy

“A car is something which get’s you where your going rather than for telling other people how far you have
come. ”

Without some Governmemt help millions could lose their jobs and I never here the right moaning when trillons of tax dollars are spent with US Co’s on defence contracts with huge corruption and wastage.

Did you ever wonder why the Millitary Industrial Complex has factories in every state? So they own all your elected representatives.

Well, An American, I was tought that the American economy was built on the principle of planned obsolesence. Things last a few years then you buy another one, thus keeping things ticking over and ensuring growth.

I assume that the clunker idea follows the same principle and is intended to stimulate a demand that once existed. However, I also take your point and think that the UAW must also understand what’s happening and drastically change their ways. Companies are not banks that can be infinitely drawn on.

GM has been given a stay of execution and one wonders if all concerned will use it wisely.

Ronnie,

Since when is it good business to award a company that fails? Because, that is exactly what Obama is doing for GM…And it won’t work. The reason it failed is still inherent in that company…its called the United Auto Worker’s Union.

It’s not that there isn’t a need for unions…just not unions like UAW which is run by thug mafia types. They have destroyed this company and I am being forced by Obama to pay tribute to these thugs with my taxes.

Ronnie,
Do you really believe that giving people money to destroy perfectly good cars will save the car industry. Even with all the billions poured into this rathole…GM will fail. Please remember this statement when it happens…

GM should have been permitted to tank…let Ford and other car companies take over the slack. I along with many other Americans will never, ever buy a GM car…they sold out to the Union and the socialization of America.

Then, An American, you will have no car industry and lots of people with no spending power to use on consumables and then even more people with no spending power.

I simply can’t stand this ridiculous waste. These ’so-called’ clunkers are perfectly good cars that have many more years in them…what an asinine idea…but hey, it makes the Liberals feel good about doing something for ‘mother earth’…even though churning out more cars will undo it.

What can you say about these folk, intelligent but immensely stupid?

High intellect but ignorant of consequences.

“I am ok” so I will “stuff you around” mentality.

Top man/woman but with no experience…it’s nauseating…I hate politics actually
