Cash for Clunkers?

Well, it didn't take long for this idea to go off the rails. Will President Obama summon up the votes in the Senate to keep it going? I guess we will have to wait and see.

The program did teach us a few things.

#1 There is a lot of pent up demand for vehicles out there
#2 Tax credits/cuts work and stimulate
#3 The government cannot run anything.

I am not thrilled that the cars are being scrapped and are not allowed to be resold and/or cut up for parts, since the aftermarket is vital to the industry. However, it is nice to see the dealerships busy again.
