The purpose of this program is to eliminate "undesirable" vehicles from the road. It is a systematic extermination of certain vehicles which plays on the "something for nothing" mentality of the American populace. It is not the purpose of this program to pull the failing American auto industry out of its union-inspired tailspin. Instead, it is a move to get the unwanted green vehicles onto the road. These vehicles are not being sold on their own merits, so the government steals from its populace and doles out a reward for behaving in the manner it determines is proper behavior.
