You know -- to bail out the people who couldn't really afford the new car payments and should have kept right on driving their older, working used cars when they fall behind on payments. Meanwhile, I keep right on driving my paid-for 2001 Toyota minivan and DH drives his paid-for 1999 Toyota 4 Runner (and CHOOSES to ride his bike to work sometimes to stay in shape). Oh crud, did anyone notice we exercised our freedom of CHOICE and picked cars we thought were reliable long term, as well as safe, and big enough for the large family we CHOSE to have - plus raise AND homeschool sans any hand-outs? Darn all that liberty stuff. ..gotta find a way to stop it...Hmmm, handing out "freebies" might work...

Most of us were anti-Obama spending conservatives but some Pro-Obama people came over and tried to "make trouble" they were yelling and carrying on...we just ignored them for the most part...but one organizer went over when the police went to talk to them. He asked them why they support Obama....stumped one finally said Obama "bought" her a car..."you know cash for clunkers, baby" she said. I wonder if Obama will make her payments too....or if she loses it will she miss being able to get a "cheap" clunker!

So after tax in CA is about $2400 at max tax. You could get that much as a straight discount without much effort, plus your trade. Oddly, even though the dealer actually recieves the payment directly from the government, it is not income to him. What a deal. Not only is the market deprived of good used cars, the scrap is being sold overseas, mostly to China. They won't even let them part them out, to keep like models running with the used parts. Another shameful scam, brought to you by inept politicians who think that a few hundred of them can out think a couple hundred million of us.

Again the liberals go out to "help the people" and end up making a bad situation worse! Now the poor working stiffs are going to be out of luck on a cheap ride...but others got a "bailout" when they got a new vehicle. Pay off to unions and a Government in the car industry and this is what you get. BTW: I have a friend who works at GM ,,, he was happy when the government stepped in. Now not so much...you see he worked for SATURN! Funny I said when they started this that it was going to make my “used” vehicles worth more….I was called crazy….look what has happened.

Sadly our current administration does not care one bit about that perspective because he knows he is doing it all on purpose. Their whole ideology is to drive ALL of us to the government for ALL of our needs. They want us completely dependent on them. None of what they are doing, despite the words dripping from their lying mouths, are to "help" anyone. Everything of what they are doing is to intentionally cripple us and to cause us to come to them on bended knee. Well, I say SCREW THAT! That is why part of the genious is also contained in the Declaration of Independence which requires the citizens to take back an overreaching government. And that is what we intend to do, starting with these "off year" elections in a couple weeks. Lilly, well put.

Well, thank the heavens that we have the Messiah-In-Chief around to tell me these things. I never would have figured that out all by myself. Guess I should have read Saul Alinsky instead of the Bible. Oh, what could and might have been, but at least I have a gun to cling to. I’m a racist?

I'll tell you, as mch as I liked the vehicle I will never own a Chevy again. Nissan is coming out with a van next year. I have to drive by and pretend to offer him a ride.
