		<description>And, curious more government control costs more money?  Seems to be the OPPOSITE way around.  China government has the most bureaucratic, largest government in the world.

Which country has the second largest currency reserves, which country has the first in terms of growth GDP, and which country has the largest ownership of T-bills?

Think again.....</description>

		<description>I am certainly glad there are still intelligent people in the United States.   The only problem is they are, indeed, in short demand. 

People, start thinking long term instead of short term.  Giving some one the ability afford today and potentially not tomorrow is just pointless.  For those who agree with such negativity comments, open your wallet, pull out your credit cards, and continue to spend America into further debt and disgrace.

Don&#039;t live beyond your means.  That includes car dealerships, home owners, government offices, and manufacturers.

We saw what happened with subprime.  Now, what happens when you give an automobile to some one who MIGHT be able to afford the costs of ownership? 

I am very, very worried with the attitudes reflected in this forum.  As people begin to argue such stances on very faulty foundations, other nations will gain where we choose to argue, bicker, and complain. Why not move to a progressive nation rather than to a nation of bitching and moaning?</description>

		<description>Extra taxes, removing a product that could be sold to those with less money AND generate money for SOMEBODY&#039;s business.

Congratulations!  Y&#039;all are getting EXACTLY what you voted for.</description>

		<description>The &quot;tax ramifications&quot; are only a SMALL part of it, but I feel it should have been explained BEFORE the people invested in the new vehicles. Instead of destroying the clunkers, couldn&#039;t they have donated them to &quot;Father Joe&#039;s&quot; for people that actually DON&#039;T HAVE or CAN&#039;T AFFORD to BUY a car? At least they MIGHT be able to afford gas (evan at todays prices) whereas they CANNOT afford a car - MUCH LESS A NEW ONE! How many jobs will be lost by the foreign market share increase and American share decrease? I guess that means that the auto manufacturer bailout was more of a bust than we thought, after all - they come up with this &quot;great idea&quot; for clunkers after HOW MANY DEALERSHIPS GOT SHUT DOWN! What it really boils down to is &quot;THE MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL - THE MORE IT WILL COST US&quot;. Maybe his name should be Adolf Housaine Obama.</description>

		<description>This is misleading.  States rule, but generally you will not pay income tax on the $4500 clunker cash.  Republican spewing again.</description>

		<description>Both political parties are a complete failures.  It seems so odd that Americans can forget the ills of a past administration to open up for the ills of the present administration.  Both the Bush and Obama Administration--most Administrations have problems.

One cliche holds strong today in American culture and those who complain without resolution need to recognize it:  &quot;Those who aren&#039;t part of the solution are part of the problem.&quot;

Government is trying to &quot;jump start&quot; the economy through stimulation of new car sales.  Cash for clunkers got rid of inefficient, older model used vehicles.  To those who speak of recycling for poor, do you really feel that continue the use of 12/18 MPG equipment is going to ease US consumption of foreign oil?  Do you feel that poor people can continue to afford increase gas per gallon fees/expenses?

The government taxes everything.  This is a reminder that we are in a fre&quot;er&quot; society.  Those civil liberties, etc you pay for.  If you dont like it, go live in China.  I did for two years.  You will see the difference.  (While the people are very honorable, friendly and proud, you will see many issues in the areas of healthcare, representation, product quality, company fairness, etc)  Again, if you&#039;re not part of the solution, you&#039;re part of the problem.

To the author, indeed, there are less available used model cars.  However, that hasn&#039;t decrease the overall inventory of used vehicles.  Do the math, one in one out.  Please use common sense when doing calculations logic.  If you wish to promote such propaganda, you had better move to a country which supports such motives.

Very lastly, Americans, we, our government, owes a lot of money to a lot of people.  Our civil liberties we have are not a free meal ticket.  We need to pay for them.  It&#039;s time for America to step back up to the plate and prove its a viable world economic contribute--not just a consumer.  And, the next time you pick up your paycheck or see the balance on your direct deposit, ask your self what can I do more to deserve this check?  There are people around the world who are willing to do your job for a fraction of that balance.  Moreover, there are the majority of Americans ready to consume those goods and services at a lower cost.

What did you to today to help solve the American Economic Crisis?  Moan? Complain? These aren&#039;t the attributes or traits of Americans.  These are the attributes of failures.  Are you a failure?</description>

		<description>First of all, Stephen = idiot.

Second of all, I know plenty of people who are struggling to get by who would benefit immensely from one of those cars that were &quot;all used up&quot;.  Proof positive that Democrats don&#039;t REALLY want to help the poor, or else they wouldn&#039;t be paying people to destroy cars that impoverished people would benefit from.  Remember, the Democrats thrive on exploiting the poor.  Giving them a car so that they can drive to work might actually help them out, making them less needy, which makes them less dependent on entitlement programs, which makes them less dependent on-- you guessed it!-- the Democratic Party.

Is anybody even fooled by their [edited] anymore?  Oh yes-- Stephen is.  Slow clap for Stephen.</description>

		<description>Of course the CARS money will be taxed, duh it&#039;s income. Like all conservatives, you twist everything to the negative and distort the facts. I&#039;m a car salesman and I can tell you that 90% of the CARS vehicles traded weren&#039;t worth putting out a lot of any type for re-sale. They were all used up. The junking of these cars will not affect the used car market one iota. Get real. This article makes you look like a conservative, reactionary dim wit. Oh, I&#039;m sorry I forgot conservative and reactionary dim wit are synonymns.</description>
