Sorry KC10 - some of the arguments that have been presented on here on way to far out there on the MACRO level to really make a difference in my little corner of the world. They always say that just do a little bit yourself and it will add up. Well...I'm taking that advice. Some supposedly smart people decided that it would be worthwhile to put this program in place. It benefited me. I took advantage of it. If the program is still in effect come the time to purchase my next car then I will be taking advantage of it again if it fits into my plan.
I don't fill picked on with these discussions. Some of the points are good. others are too far out to prove one way or the other like I said in a previous post. I also posted a few other uses of tax payers money that I would be MUCH more worried about than CARS; if someone was truly pre-disposed to worrying about such things.

FLYR, I do not blame you for taking advantage of the program; I wish I could and owned a clunker. The program is overpaying for cars that have no real value, no return and this is not an investment as some of the past practice of government loans. This is a car bailout; plane and simple. Some may benefit personally, but others will be put into a pinch if their situation changes. This is the american way.
