Obama destroying cars with cash for clunkers
July 30, 2009 | New York, New York | Vetting explained
Cash for Clunkers CARS program has a Trojan Horse inside.
In yet another ‘stupid moment” President Obama signed another bill encouraging waste and destruction of perfectly good vehicles.
The CARS program allowing people to trade in clunkers for cash, has a Trojan horse hiding inside. All dealers accepting vehicles accepted under the program must put sodium silicate in the engine (think sugar in a gas tank except worse, totally destroying the engine). Then the vehicle goes to a junkyard.
Obama has allocated One Billion Dollars of our tax money towards this bill, effectively paying for about 250,000 of these cars to be traded in.
Now, lets think about this for a minute. The Federal CARS program requires the cars to be running to be eligible for this voucher. So, Obama is taking cars that run perfectly fine and is forcing the dealers to destroy the engines.
Why not resell these vehicles overseas where people would be delighted to pay for them and thus help out poorer countries ?
Why not give these vehicles to poor Americans who cannot afford vehicles ?
Why not turn them into something useful instead of destroying them.
I guess our President is throwing in the towel. Since we have destroyed our economy why not start destroying other useful objects like cars.
