I didn’t see one word in this article that provides and substantive proof that one in four people who bought a vehicle through the cash for clunkers program has had buyer’s remorse. The author of this article just cites another article as a reference, but the author of the referenced article just makes the statement without any corroborating evidence to support it. He might as well say the moon is made out of cheese. These people are just trading on the fear and angst of the times for their own benefit, and to the detriment of everyone else. The sooner the public begins to turn their backs on those in the media who exploit society’s problems for their own gain (ratings = money) the sooner positive change will take root.

How long do we have to get our larders stocked? Or trunks as the case may be.
How much food should we put by?

@SimulationTraining The purpose of taxation has never been to make the nation prosperous, so the whole quote is meaningless. Taxation spreads out risks and costs out among a large population. It keeps the disabled from starving to death, builds our roads, provides for defense from enemines, regulations preventing corporations from polluting our land, air, and water, education for all, and many other things, which you gladly take advantage of every day you live in this country.

Of course taxation doesn’t make us profitable, it does make living in a society with lots of other people a lot more comfortable, for everyone (including the top .1% who would probably be slaughtered by the poor if the poor were forced to choose between that and starving to death).

Yes, it seems the solution for irresponsible spending is more irresponsible spending.

I know a lot of people are concerned/confused about car repossession. I created this infographic that helps explain the process:

Feel free to use it on your site if you like. (I’d appreciate a link for credit if you do.)

We’ve seen many statistics on the cash for clunkers programs touting how many cars were sold and how much more fuel efficient they are. I haven’t seen any stats on how much money was lost by auto repair shops, parts stores, used car dealers and car donation charities.

I’m going to kick back and watch a few more episodes of Operation Repo on the old TV. Maybe by next year I can trade in my empty beer bottles stacked up around me. Dig up some of that shiny metal out of that big lot with the fence around it. Take it down to the auction and pick up one of those slightly used automobiles & still have some cash left for a couple air fresheners.
