but there is no evidence that the sales that were made wouldn't have been made anyway

Sour grapes...

I'm at odds with the the Rs as well as the Ds on this. I don't think the country helps itself by subsidizing the purchase of cars. It is stupid. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Well, it is an excellent idea that worked like a charm...of course you'd be at odds with it...you are just a bean counter anyway...what the hell do you know about business anyway.

Cars don't manufacture themselves, but there is no evidence that the sales that were made wouldn't have been made anyway -- at least the vast majority of them.

Uh......cars weren't selling for the first six months of this year. Suddenly they take off under the cash for clunker deal. Truth is the program worked better than anyone expected and no one is more surprised than stock investors...... Ford's stock moved like Hitler was on Long Island moving west. And you know what........Obama is going to get all the credit for it. In fact, yesterday's gallup poll showed Obama's rating jumped back up. Yeah, yeah........I noticed you didn't say a word. No surprise considering you're a weasel of the first order.
