Obama ran out of cash for the program as of tonight. Seems a billion
does not go as far as they thought and it is almost all claimed now.

It really bothers me also. There's no way destroying a perfectly
good car is good for the environment.
I've also noticed that the EPA seems to have dropped the economy
ratings on a lot of older cars to make them seem worse, and hence
get them scrapped. I think all of the turbocharged Volvos from the
80s and 90s are rated EXACTLY at 18mpg, when in reality they get as
much as 25mpg. I'm a huge fan of these cars- they're sheer
reliability and durability is good for the environment because they
don't need to be replaced ever if maintained properly, and they're
very versatile and utilitarian. It's horrible to see them being
scrapped without the parts even being saved, and replaced with cheap
crap that will end up in a junkyard within a decade.
If anyone thinks the democrats care about the environment, I think
they're being misled. They simply use the environment as an excuse
for directing money towards big corporations.

Going around visiting all sorts or dealerships since this cash for
clunkers deal started is just sick I see all sorts of so called
clunkers that are sitting in back, with spray paint on the side
saying clunker, gettign ready for the crusher. Alot of these
vehicles are perfectly fine. Geez. Many of the dealers around
here will have several lined up along the street out front with
that clunker stuff painted on the side to get attention. It is
really killing the used car business as well.
