Cash4Clunkers: Let our grandkids buy us cars!!
WSJ commments on Cash4Clunkers, a program that I am having great difficulty understanding, as they are. Why would I want my grandkids buying me a car? Think about it.
"Green" is the answer you will get from the Dems. But with the only requirement being that the car you purchase must get 4 miles per gallon more than the clunker the impact will be negligible.
I suspect it is another giveaway to the Unions.
If you like this program, then you should like the WSJ's closing paragraph:
"Clearly, we spoilsports need an attitude adjustment to Washington’s new economics. And since money is no object, let’s give everyone a $4,500 voucher for other consumer goods. Let’s have taxpayers subsidize the purchase of kitchen appliances, women’s clothing, the latest Big Bertha driver—our Taylor-made is certainly a clunker—and new fishing boats. These are hardly less deserving of subsidies than cars, and as long as everyone thinks we can conjure wealth out of $4,500 giveaways, let’s go all the way."
Silliness at the MAX!!
