Yes, but the overwhelming main purpose was to stimulate the economy. Which it did very well.

I'm serious about the appliance rebates. Get your blood pressure up now (but you don't have to trade anything in)

The actual stimlus provided by Cash for Clunkers is a few drops of water in a 10 gallon bucket. Saying it will provide anything more than a brief and unsustainable blip on the car sales radar screen is silly.

She knows that and knows the environmental benefit is a couple drops in Lake Michigan but never let the truth and or common sense get in the way of people who 'get it'. Whatever 'it' is it's nothing good.

Dell, which of the next two weekends are you making an appearance at the Spa? I'll buy you five beers and we can have a more fun debate on this subject.

I've spent numerous days, dinners and nights with GBbob and Chuck and politics rarely ever come up. In fact almost never. Guess we all know where we stand.
