The new Cash for Clunkers plan is one of many plans proposed by President Obama, which is intended to transform us into astute students and reward us for complying. The notion that the government is giving away $ 4,500 for a qualifying new vehicle is actually opposed by as many as 54% of Americans who see the biggest implications.
According to a recent Rasmussen poll, only 35% of Americans support the Cash for Clunkers plan. That’s only about 1/3 of our citizens, and government employees made louder comments. That number is roughly equal to the harsh Democrats, or perhaps the future number of government employees. This is social manipulation at its finest. The Cash for Clunker scheme tries to force Americans to buy new vehicles, both domestic and foreign, that are smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient. However, that is not what Americans have traditionally bought, and many Americans feel that these vehicles are cramped and dangerous.
I often ponder how far we are willing to go to solve a problem that we are not sure exists in the first place. Obama’s environmental fundamentalists would argue that we are a danger to our own environment, and they would probably go so far as to say that the world must survive even if you or your family don’t.
Supposedly, vehicles qualified under the Cash for Clunkers plan have undergone and passed all safety tests. I wonder though, have they considered “plummeting for an SUV or Mack truck test”?
Security issues aside, we have to think about the economic situation of the majority of Americans. We almost have an unemployment rate of 10% in this country, and Americans have used and abused credit endlessly. And in addition to this, the government presents the Cash for Clunkers plan, which encourages Americans to apply for even more credit, despite their current economic situation. If we comply, after all, we will gratify Mother Nature and even delight environmentalists.
The worst part of the plan lies in the fact that it is based on a deficit, giving money to an elite few, who can, in fact, buy a vehicle right now, and future generations are left with the responsibility of paying the gigantic debt. . Honestly, the Cash for Clunkers plan does not benefit Americans, unless you accept the fact that selling fuel efficient vehicles will clean up the environment. It literally takes money out of the pockets of taxpayers and puts it back into the pockets of a select few who can run out and buy a new car.
