gosh Lina...
I was out for a month, changed groups here you are still going at it.
Argument for a sake of argument...
Gets boring... may be not for you, but for other people?...

Gosh Yulya, I'm not quite sure who you are? I don't post here that often, and what argument? Simply presenting my point of view - what is your reason for posting in this thread? -Just to hear see yourself talk write? And your insightful comment was almost as exciting as watching a coat of paint dry,yet not quite as deep.(F)

No, Lina, you're not a thinking person. You're a whiny annoying girl woman. Why don't you go plant an herb garden, organize a community, recycle a tampon. Just refrain from addressing me in the future. I talk to idiots all year long. I need a summer of rest.

Only an idiot would refer to others as such...It is unfortunate that you don't hear yourself. Recycle a tampon you say? Now that's real class...
.
P.S.
as for referring to us whiny, peace loving, herb garden planting liberals as militant, hope you realize that it's practically an oxymoron, and I'mconfident your "idiot" coworkers are enjoying their time away from you, as well - can't imagine working with someone who hates me that much,constantly on the verge of snapping and going postal.It's no surprise America is lagging in education.

8 out of 10 cars sold under this program are NON American brands.
50% are not assembled in USA
Number 1 selling car is Toyota Corolla
NONE of the Obama-mobiles (GM and Chrysler) made top 10.
Way to recover tax payers investment in GM and Chrysler (N)
Guess who is not getting a car salesmen of the year award?

Furthermore, what will this do to the used car market, the usedparts marketand the scrap metal industry?
The used car dealers are sufferring greatly as they are losing out on the 4% of the used car market. Furthermore, how many people get priced out of buying a used car because the really inexpensive, affordable cars have been scrapped?

The scrap industry is getting flooded, so prices are going down, on the other hand the the used carparts prices will go through the roof as the parts being scrapped rather than reused or recycled...

I would like to see less opinions and more data. If the cars that are being scrapped are anything like my dad's (and even his didn't qualify), then trust me, there is no demand in the used car market for those clunkers.

DETROIT (AP) — Shoppers are snapping up cars and trucks so quickly that General Motors Co. is boosting production for the rest of the year to keep up with Cash for Clunkers demand.
.
GM said Tuesday it would add 60,000 vehicles to its production schedule in the third and fourth quarters and bring back about 1,350 laid-off workers. The company now plans to make 535,000 cars and trucks during July-September.
That would amount to a 35 percent increase from the depressed second quarter, while production in the final three months of the year will rise another 20 percent.
.
The Cobalt, GM's highest-mileage car at up to 37 mpg on the highway, once was among the top 10 vehicles on the "cash for clunkers" purchase list. Dealers say shortages have bumped it from the top 10 list.

Top Ten Cash for Clunker Sellers
1: Ford Focus
2: Toyota Corolla
3: Honda Civic
4: Toyota Prius
5: Toyota Camry
6: Ford Escape
7: Hyundai Elantra
8: Dodge Caliber
9: Honda Fit
10: Chevrolet Cobalt

Thus far, 83% of trade-ins under the program are trucks, and 59% of new vehicle purchases are cars. Nearly half of new vehicles purchased under the program were from the Big 3. Detroit’s share in this program (45%) is equivalent to their overall share in the auto market (about 45%) – a couple points less than indicated in published reports yesterday.
