I agree. People really should see the pictures and videos of people destroying running vehicles for this program. It won’t hit home till people are exposed to what’s really going on! It just doesn’t sit right with me in my stomach.

I just received a phone call for the audit the fed campaign. The audio recording said the had enough sponsors of the bill in the house that WHEN it comes up for vote if all sponsors vote yes the bill would pass.

They are moving to the Senate and have a major campaign going to get the Senate to pass this legislation. People are starting to take their power back and those that want to control us are doing these type of things to try to keep things in their ballpark.

The game has changed we need to stop being fooled by all the deception. United we stand against corruption.

Do you think they’ll read the bill before voting on it. ;-)

A Glenn Beck caller said this program is just Obama’s test program for the next one: “Cash for Cripples” — where you turn in Granny for money.

That is one of the most chilling things I’ve ever read.

They’ll get my ‘98 Wrangler when they pry my cold, dead hands from the steering wheel.

Thanks to Cash for Clunkers, I now resolve to keep the old beast running as long as it is feasibly possible to do so.

Oh, and another thing...I’m going to get larger tires and run them at 18 PSI, and keep it in third gear all the time, so she’ll drop three or four MPG. Just because I can.

And for my next car, I will intentionally select something used that could fit within the Cash For Clunkers criteria. And again, I will drive it as many years as possible, with low tires, at varying speeds, intentionally choosing routes with a lot of stop-and-go driving.

Take that, Obama.

Hah.

If it is true that the crushed remains of the Clunkers are being sent to china, will they do what Japan did with our scrap metal in WWII and turn it into weapons?

Some people learn from history in order not to repeat a mistake and others learn what works and repeat it.

That was a nice car. What an incredible waste! Affordable, loan free transportation in what looked like a nice car is now taken forever off the market from...THE POOR>>> “The road to hell is paved with BHO’s good intentions”

"Fewer affordable repair parts makes maintaining your current ride less feasable and more expensive."
