Cash for Clunkers - The Brilliant Truth

What idiot thought that was a good idea? You could have gotten way more than 4500 for it on the open market and then someone would have had a car. I thought they donated them to charity or resold them to low income families or something. I never even dreamed that they destroyed them. That was just too stupid for me to even comprehend as an option. I am... aghast at the idiocy. Chevrolet still sells new cars that use those engines for crying out loud. I would yank the engine myself and tow the fucking car to the dealer.

Really, I am at a complete loss for words. What good does the government destroying perfectly serviceable automobiles do for the American people? Oh sure, it protects the tax dollars wasted on GM (of course, by using more tax dollars, which apparently makes sense to someone), but what about the people who can't afford a car payment? What about the people who just buy Kias or something? What about people who can't even afford used cars?

Really, this is the angriest I have been about moronic government activities probably ever.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

This is one of the worst socialistic programs I've seen. They are going to pump more money into this program today! I really can't believe that our government is subsidizing ALL the car industries and people are falling for getting less money for their cars.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!
