   I think it would be best if the government let this recession run its course on its own. It’ll be very interesting to see what limitations (if any) they put on the kind of cars you can turn in for the cash for clunkers program.

   I agree Bill! Throwing trillions at a problem doesn’t seem like a very intelligent response.

   Steve,

   Both you and Bill are entitled to your opions. It would appear that you both are a little more well off than a great number of people that this bill could possibly help.

   True, the plan appears to have flaws, whats your plan?

   Hi Gary,

   I was merely asking questions about the long term consequences of this plan – especially as it pertains to those of us that buy and sell used cars.

   But if you really want to help the little guy (of which I am one), then offer that plan for used cars too instead of just new cars so it can possibly help the millions of people that can’t afford a new car.

   Having said that; I’m against having the government get involved in “stimulating” the economy because there “ain’t no free lunch” and we will ultimately have to pay for it with higher taxes and/or inflation.

   Being well off has nothing to do with it, I’m not well off and I think the program stinks! The government doesn’t have the money to do this, it has to steal it from the taxpayers. Stop putting your hand out and stealing from your neighbors. Using your logic if you’re not well off should you be making a new car payment (even with a $4500 discount) and paying full coverage insurance? Isn’t it free and loose credit and government intervention that got us into this mess in the first place.

   Sean,

   Exactly!

   I don’t want to get into a big heavy political discussion here because that isn’t the scope of this blog, but this entire mess has been created by government intervention from start to finish starting years ago when politicians realized they could get votes and perpetuate their gig by handing out freebies.

   If my checking account is overdrawn, is the key to making it right done by writing more bad checks? Hardly.

   The Cars For Clunkers legislation is actually very focused and is only available for a limited four month time frame. It offers participants the opportunity to trade in certain older cars for certain other new ones. Unfortunately, many cars do not qualify for the program and therefore are still ideal for the ‘traditional’ car donor option. Such non-qualifying cars let people give their cars to non-profit organizations who help people with many different kinds of needs, like supporting youth organizations or our older folks or to help promote the arts and health research.

   Help yourself with the Cash for Clunkers program if you qualify or if you don’t qualify or would like to help others, give your “clunker” to charity and take a tax write-off!

   Here are 400 not-for-profit organizations that can always benefit from your ‘clunker’ or unneeded vehicle. To donate your car, just click on the link to the charity on the web pages below.

   Cash for clunkers was perfect timing for me when I needed to buy a new car.
