Auto Salvage Companies Boosted by 'Cash for Clunkers'

Though the popular CARS program, known as "Cash for Clunkers" ended in August, business is just picking up for auto salvage yards across the United States. That's because many automobile dealerships that accepted "Clunkers" wanted to hold onto them until they received the government reimbursements, which they are only receiving now. As VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports, one Illinois salvage company is dealing with the pros and cons of the program, which comes with strict requirements for recycling the remnants.

seeing all those cash for clunkers i am beginning to come to realize that maybe the cash for clunkers was not a good idea because it only destroyed perfectly good vehicles that does not sit well with me
