0:11 so a 1990-1995 ford taurus sation wagon (25-30) mpg is a "clunker"?

Everyone deserves to have an opinion. Economy stimulus worked for a while. There were benefits for the environment.
677 081 cars traded.
Average mpg of the old vehicles traded in: 15.8.
Average mpg of the new vehicles: 24.9 (58% better)
85% of traded in vehicles SUV's and pickups
59% of the new vehicles were automobiles
It was a small/partial measure but effective.

The Cash for Clunkers program is the biggest piece of shit the U.S. ever made.

Why don't they take all the parts out before crashing the cars? Lights, interior etc. That would be proper recycling.

Trade in your gas guzzling clunker for a car that can't stop and a load of life threatening/ending recalls! Wise choice!

Yeah, create jobs alright, short term, maybe. All the crushed cars get sent over there to be sent back as cheap commodities, I get so tired of hearing we can't compete. The company I work for has cheap Chinese crap backfiring soundly on them now, it always holds true, you get what you pay for. Seeing otherwise good cars and trucks being destroyed here as seen is such a waste, many families can only afford good used cars, and will not be lulled into deeper debt with these so called incentives.
