I'm a Reoublican Art and I sincerely hope its wrong. But something tells me its close.
They took the numbers of people who would have likely bought cars anyways, and applied their rebates to people who probably wouldn't have.I'm a Reoublican Art and I sincerely hope its wrong. But something tells me its close.
It sounds to me like they took the amount that the average consumer who used the program paid for their car and tried to apply THAT figure as what the tax payers paid and not the actual rebate.

And I've gone cross eyed.
Ok ... now I get it.
Some shady stats there.
How is paying someone around 1/4 of the money to buy something that they were going to buy in any event a "success"?

At whose expense?...You think that money came from the Tooth Fairy?How is paying someone around 1/4 of the money it takes to buy something that they were going to buy in any event a "success"?
Wouldn't it free up money they would have spent anyways and allow it to be spent elsewhere?

Right. At the expense of people who would have spent the money on things like food, clothing and shelter for themselves.Yours, mine, and everyone else's, of course.
I thought that besides fuel economy the program was designed to get people spending.
If I'm going to buy a car no matter what and suddenly I'm getting a rebate from the tax payer on my purchase now I can go out and spend that money on other things and get other sectors moving again.

There really is no free lunch.

I get that but when the gears are locked up you gotta get some lubrication in there to get things moving again.
When most of the people who bought the cars were going to buy one anyways?
Even if that means that auto sales crater, like they did, after the program ends?

If I was going to buy a car anyway and suddenly got a rebate from joe taxpayer on my purchase, I would save the difference and be joyous that I saved the bucks. I wouldn't go out and spend the difference.
