Why Is “Cash for Clunkers” Called a Success?

[xd9fan]

They think it is a success because they think everybody has a shortterm memory. and in the shortterm the bubble made people warm and fuzzy.

Some dogs got a bone from the master and liked the warm fuzzy feeling.

Why not eliminate the "...for clunkers" part? We can make a government program called "Cash". All you do is go to the post office and they give youa nice crisp $20 bill. That would be the most "successful" government program ever!! People would be lined up around the block at every post office in America! Then the media reporters could all tell us that the government's doing a great job!

Time is money...I wouldn't make a line and wait for hours just to receive $20

They are calling it a success because it IS a success. It has done exactly what it was intended to do: lure the public back into the borrow and spend slavery to the banks. The banks profit, certain favored corporations profit, and the people and the government get further in debt. It is a classic American success story.

Until the citizens can't pay back the loans, and get their cars repo'd

The Cash For Clunkers program is a small, but vicious bubble. They attempt to prop up the auto industry with a ticking timebomb. Sooner or later, people will lose jobs and won't be able to pay. They get their vehicles repossessed, the banks are out on the loan, and people are left without transportation.

It's all a sick game, isn't it.
