Terrell, Borden, Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:18:44 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=12174#comment-46400 Cash for Clunkers was a bad idea from the start. In the first place, the government has no funds to support it, secondly, it puts people in debt that has no funds to pay for a new car, and finally, people with cars that get low mileage, well, their vehicle gets them back and forth to where they want to be. Now what is wrong with that? If you are poor, you can't do anything about the ecology in that respect, when you are just trying to eke out a living. As for the government, they get these ideas, and they add them as Bills, but they always add hidden things in these bills, so also, who knows what is in the Health Reform Bill. It surely not a good Bill, because the Congress are too good for it, they have their own private insurance. They work for us, but you wouldn't think so, now would you?

Worth Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:32:01 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=12174#comment-45994 It's ironic that the cash for clunkers and Obamacare plans as so similar and obviously flawed, yet the left continues to push forward oblivious to reality or alternate methods of accomplishing the stated "desired" results. (Unless of course you admit that increased availability and affordability are not the real goals of medical reform--ready for that truth yet? I didn't think so.) 1) So the program is going to cost at least 3 times, the estimated cost. 2) Dealers and private individuals are having a hard time complying. 3) When resources run short--rules were changed to accomodate governmental desires. (Older car stated mileage limits have been tweaked.) 4) These programs will harm more people than they will help. (More people who couldn't afford new cars are now saddled with monthly payments.) 86 million people who have private insurance will be forced into a gov't program which many believe will not be as favorable to them as what they currently have. (all to add 15 million people.) Sad--just sad, that an honest debate on what's in this program can't be provided so everyone can vote on what's really being proposed. But honesty is not the hallmark of anything this administration is pushing.

(Unless of course you admit that increased availability and affordability are not the real goals of medical reform–ready for that truth yet? I didn't think so.)

1) So the program is going to cost at least 3 times, the estimated cost.

2) Dealers and private individuals are having a hard time complying.

3) When resources run short–rules were changed to accomodate governmental desires. (Older car stated mileage limits have been tweaked.)

Congress and the president all have their choice of private health insurance plans, and they won't be forced to give them up. If the government run plan isn't right for them I want to know why they want to force it on others by gradually putting private health insurance companies out of business,so we won't have that choice.

Not cars the government said the plan would cover. In the first place, any fool would've known what they had allocated for funds wasn't going to be enough! They play stupid when things go haywire and thier plans are a flop.Besides they never had money to pay for it anyway.Just print somemore we're broke now what does it matter.

If then maximum was paid for each clunker, that would be over 200,000 vehicles sold in a week. I wonder whose hand we are going to hear about being cought in the till!? I would be interested to find a statistic that tells us how many cars were bought in a week. Just how many cars can be sold in a week, in our present economy?
