Guess I wasn't sure what you were talking about when you wrote "Even the new Cash for Clunkers program isn't going to make a big dent." Perhaps you were saying that it wouldn't make a big dent in the national rate of our gasoline consumption? If you were saying that, I agree with you.) No, more like not a big dent in the economy. But probably not the right word. I expect good cars going into the junk yard will offset the positive of selling new cars. The rebates added to them will only sell off some of there inventory. I expect it to stall when the inventory runs out or when only the people who want small cars have traded. Of course it will. When the Billion Dollars runs out, (or Nov. 1 rolls around - whichever happens first), it's all over. No not one billion, three billion, one billion is just for starters. They have 3 billion budgeted. It depends more on how well it goes. They are almost up to the 1 billion registered now. But not all that are registered will actually go through.
