What did Cash for Clunkers really do? It really didn’t do much for the greening of america, or pollution reduction. What it did do is destroy 500 million dollars worth of assets, crappy cars– but assets just the same. It didn’t create jobs, more cars weren’t made, these cars were just sitting on the dealer’s lots. It didn’t save depreciation on the cars, they depreciate on the lot or on the road-no real difference, just whose pocket the depreciation comes from. Many less fortunate in america could have used the parts from these cars to keep their cars running longer, or purchased them on the cheap. We could have given them away to the unemployed, many of whom can’t get a job because they lack transportation. We could have shipped them to a foreign country with a low annual income and they would have been welcomed with open arms. What we did was make USA poorer. I am unhappy with our government and myself. How can our government propose this and all of us fall for it. We all want a piece of the pie, no matter how dumb it is.
