My current, only, vehicle is over 20 years old, and there's now way I can afford a replacement at this point. And while it was a fuel-sipper for it's day (and is, ironically, not eligible for C4C - unlike say, a new SUV, worth several times what C4C will pay for its destruction), you can bet that kneecapping an entire generation of vehicles is exactly what's meant when people say the program "works." In fact, I don't think it's passing the point of paranoia to imagine a day when cars that are as old as mine are prohibited from the Interstate Hwy System. At which point those who are currently poor are absolutely screwed, lacking easy transport should they want to pull up their tent pegs and decamp for better, more prosperous regions where jobs might not be so completely destroyed. No, it's to be locked into their current districts for them, where they're dependent on staying in the good graces of The Boys In Charge. You noticed that too?

I prefer being fairly reasonable and send then useful tidbits - like this: Dear Sir/madam: I’m not sure if the gentleman speaking in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jifjRVLVjzA) knows that he isn’t being helpful by demonizing those who have alternate ideas. By his logic, Rep. Frank and Senator Dodd should step aside on all housing and banking issues. Have a great day!
