Damn the American public on their selection choices! Didn't they know they were supposed to buy only crappy cars that get poor gas mileage, even if those cars didn't qualify for the program?

>> But then the top ten clunkers turned in are ALL American made and of course means less service work for American dealers.

Shocking! Gosh darn it - we are Americans, it is our patriotic duty to continue buying crappy clunkers that cost us tons of money in exorbitant gasoline costs, and break down constantly, just to support the car dealers that sell such crap in the first place!

Americans - give them a little freedom to choose, and look what they do with it.
Look I'm not faulting the American public at all just this insanely stupid plan. By the way I drive a Hyundai 4WD Sportage and love it. My point is this plan backfired big time!!!
