whatever benefits they can get at least they still have some the benefits. For me if God has given me enough blessings then of course I need also donate some of what I have and give it to them.

Is it just me or the government seems to waste these money when they could do so much more to improve the environment and its citizens welfare. I have nothing against the program itself except the fact that they destroy so many well functioning cars when they could make auto donations and help poor people get their own car. From my point of view this is an unnecessary waste, if they really wanted to protect the environment they could just as well change the car's engines with more efficient ones.

You don’t need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase

Trade in a 16mpg truck for an 18mpg H3 and get a $3500 subsidy to buy that F-ing H3!!???? YES, you can actually buy a Hummer with this plan!

That is what is wrong with this country. As$hat republicans who changed the bill at the last minute and significantly reduced the required mpg improvement to get the credit and the pu$sy democrats who allowed them to do it.

It should be 3,500 credit for a 10mpg increase and a 5000 credit for a 15mpg increase.

Forget the economy or the envorment for a minute.(even though the plan helps both) This plan is about oil independence. With the current 1 billion dollar plan it will save 75-100 million gallons of gas a year in this country. Granted that's a drop in the bucket but if increased to 3 billion you are talking about some real savings.

Now is the time to start raising the gas tax and lets get serrious about this!

This program does 2 things well. First, destroy wealth by paying above market price and then crushes and melts it. The energy cost of recycling, mining, and building a car far exceeds a few mpg.
Financially, the government borrows money from abroad to pay for the destruction of capital. Then, an individual borrows more to buy a car made abroad.

So robertg222, in your estimation adding 3 billion dollars in new debt, long term, is a good idea for a program that does nothing more than reward mediocrity? This is a great program for our newly government owned car companies, and a pretty good deal for some people who had bought awful fuel inefficient vehicles, but its a bad deal for anyone who is planning to live in America for the forseeable future. Even at a low interest rate, 3 billion dollars cost Americans 6 billion dollars over 30 years.
