Alexis Glick has a more traditional economic view; the Judge believes in libertarian principles. Their exchange is interesting and on a higher intellectual level than much of what is out there.
Alexis needs to google the broken window fallacy. Wealth is property. To destroy property is to destroy wealth. Period. Due to this plan foisted on us by our "betters", the world now has fewer cars. Why not destroy everything? That will create untold wealth.

This was an absolutely stupid & wasteful program that cost the American Taxpayers big bucks. Many of these vehicles were not clunkers at all. Many of these vehicle would probably run another 70, 000+ miles or more. Many of these vehicles could have been used by some people to get to work.
This would have made more sense if they had waited for all of the 2010 vehicles to hit the market. This should have been about stimulating the big 3 Ford GMC and Chrysler/Dodge.
The idea that Fox's -- or any corporation's -- commercial success is evidence of superior quality, is flawed. By that "logic," McDonald's would be the best restaurant in the world.
eschuela, If you're suggesting that MSNBC has some work to do if it wants to compete with Fox for the resentful, pig-ignorant white trash demographic, I completely agree.
Of course STATIST Glick "likes it."

I like Glick a lot, but she couldn't have been more wrong about this. China was actually behind Cash for Clunkers.

Meanwhile MSNBC doesn't have any viewers...well maybe a few pussy men, carpet munchers, and brain dead druggies.

Actually, thedecider1984, Fox has more appeal to crackers (besides rednecks, hicks, & peckerwoods) than MSNBC.
