re: #574 Walter L. Newton

My point being, you are not going to get a loan if you can’t afford a new car. And according to the reports I am hearing from dealers and car sales people, the folks coming in are people who can certainly afford the loan, not poor people.

No one ever said the “clunkers” program would do anything for the economically disadvantaged.

At least they didn’t promise that. The ecological benefit is just as imaginary, but people are buying it. Of course they are. It’s “free” money.
