Digging a Hole, Filling It In By Radley Balko on Uncategorized Good point by Gregg Easterbrook in, oddly, his Tuesday Morning Quaterback column for ESPN.com. Can anyone explain why American taxpayers are being taxed, via the Cash for Clunkers program, to subsidize the destruction of low-mileage cars — while simultaneously being taxed to support General Motors, which just released a 426-horsepower, 16-mpg Camaro to complement its 556-horsepower, 15-mpg Cadillac? Under the Cash for Clunkers mileage rules, both cars classify as clunkers! Taxpayers are simultaneously paying to destroy old low-mileage cars and build new low-mileage cars. It's the government equivalent of a perpetual motion machine.
