Re: The clunker program, just another government flop.
It served as a stimulus to the economy. There were tons of cars sitting in inventory, and I read that some auto workers were brought back to work after cars were sold.
The average improvement of traded in car to new car was 9.6 MPG - that is for the life of the car, not just one year.
I think it's better than spending money on something like a missle defense system, that with luck will never be needed, and every test (that wasn't rigged) showed it doesn't work.
It is also better than pouring money down the Iraqi rathole.
