I'm trying to figure out how there is a net gain for our economy as a whole? The government is taking perfectly good money from taxpayers that could be used to purchase things that they want/need and giving it to people to a specific market of people who are looking for new cars. Furthermore they are artificially placing a $4,500 price tag on something that almost has little to no real value (the clunker).
Actually, I'm surprised the government isn't forcing people to buy Government Motors cars only with this plan.
