Thought on cash for clunkers

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Cash for Clunkers, the very successful federal program that has brought car buyers back to showrooms, is about to reach a very rough end of the road.

1. It is good to see giving away other peoples money is such a success. Where did we get the money from? That's right our friends the Saudis and Chinese.

2. These were perfectly good cars what are low income people supposed to drive now that these vehicles are headed for the heap.

3. Some of these cars only need 2 MPH better gas mileage. How is that considered green? When you figure in the amount of energy it took to mine the ore, transport oil for plastic parts etc... how much do you really think was saved?

4. What are about the muffler shops that put mufflers on these "clunkers"? Is it ok that we maybe putting them out of business?

5. Since these cars are being scrapped without stripping the parts, how is that green? Wouldn't it be better on mother earth if these parts had been recycled?

I guess that it is better to prop up one segment of the auto industry to detriment of the rest of industry including used car lots.

WTF?

“If there’s a problem and it turns out that there’s been a fraud … that someone has changed sex, then obviously it would be much easier to strip results,” Davies added. “However, if it’s a natural thing and the athlete has always thought she’s a woman or been a woman, it’s not exactly cheating.”

I'm with you on point that is she's always been a woman cool. If she thought she's a woman? Huh? Maybe some 75th ranked male golfer should come and say he believes he has always been a woman and dominate the LPGA. The only way I agree with the thought she is a woman situation is if the person was a hermaphrodite.

Howard how could you say this with a straight face?

"Dean urged the Obama administration to stand by statements made early on in the debate in which it steadfastly insisted that such a public option was indispensable to genuine change, saying that Medicare and the Veterans Administration are "two very good programs that have been around for a long time.""

Apparently he has never been treated by the VA I think they kill more people than the war in Iraq. A friend of the family they neglected to tell him to wear compression socks after surgery... oops sorry dead.

I want government telling me how to raise my summer kids

Some maybe here some maybe there. If I had kids. I quit. I am not going to have a dollar left to my name eventually. Thank you Chuck Norris.
