This program is a great idea but only if they also had raised the CAFE standards to say 50 or 60 mpg instead of what, 35?
This program was a bad program no matter what!
1st.... off it will push the prices up on used cars since the market will see a a shortage!
2cd.....It helps new car lots at the expense of used car lots. Government shouldn't pick favorites
3rd.....It will hurt Parts stores
4th.....It will hurt small business owned repair shops
5th.....It will push down the price of scrap metal
6th.....It will hurt trucking companies that haul scrap metal.
7th.....It is not the Governments right to use my tax dollars to help someone else buy a car or pick a company to prop up. They should be doing what their original purpose was and leave businesses alone!
