My teabagger mom heard on the radio that "Cash for Clunkers" caused used car prices to go up 30%
"Heard on the radio" is a code phrase for "Rush said it". The opposite is true. The Cash for Clunkers program not only increased sales of new cars, foreign and domestic, but it also provided the used car market with a wealth of mostly resalable cars. I keep telling her that FOX isn't a news channel and Rush is a ****ing idiot, but you can't reason with a mind that is already made up. Obama is black and a Democrat so he's obviously evil.
He's so wrong, but he doesn't need to hear that from me....

4. No, they were not. Most of them found their way into the used car market.

13. No. Engine kill was poured into the running engines and they were sent to the scrapyard.
Period.
All the tradeins (clunker or not) went to the junkyard.
I'm a car guy. This is like a gut punch.

You need to go back and review the basics of the program.

8. I like the idea of doing it again strictly for hybrids. As for my mom...
She's become very different from what I remember as a kid. Blacks are a threat. FOX is the only "news" station. Rush is always right. I don't have a clue what ****ed her up so badly.

9. Apologize to mom.
followed by 3 links.
It's an enormous bonfire, with lots of squabbling. I would love to sign up, pose as his mom, barge in on the thread and demand he stop insulting his mother on an internet board.

Cash 4 Clunkers actually depleted the used car market and hurt poor people the most and helped foreign manufacturers the most.

Karin! I saw this thread last night, and the utter stupidity of it almost made me sign up and start a mole, just to address the ignorance!
Then, I almost brought it over here, but I was too weary after reading the stupidity.
I feel so bad for Hope Hoops' Mom, I really do. It has to hurt to know someone that stupid is your offspring.
Cash 4 clunkers was horrible. They killed the cars. That ain't right.

It's how the plagiarist Will Pitt's mother would feel, if she weren't a DUmmy herself.

:lmao:
That happened to me too once, it was after a Chavez thread. You had the Magistrate and stupid Beth in there, all I wanted to do was twist my head off from it. I was exhausted. I felt like just coming here, giving the link to any random helpful soul, and saying "here, you deal with this." :lmao: Oy, that was bad. I think I drank a lot that night. :-)

Hey, kid...yer Mom is right.

Reality! the ones who face it vote Republican, the ones who deny it vote Democrat!

My Teabagger Mom has no idea how she got such an idiot for a kid
Mistaking tik-tacs for birth control pills?

Saw this thread and wanted to bring it over but there was just too much stupid to squeeze into my lunch break.
HopePoops will not be moved no matter how many people present so many facts.

Reagan said it the nicest.
"Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so."
I will just call them DUmb****s.

I tried to trade in a DUmmie when CfC started, but the dealer said it had to be useful at some point in the past. :(

I was on my phone earlier and it too almost 15 minutes to bring up the DU thread so I could see if that was real or not. Time well spent! That was awesome!

TV News this morning said used cars are worth 2 to 5 thousand more now than they were this time last year. The same year older PRIUS is worth $5,000 more now than it was last year. A DUmmie is born every minute.

My step-son wanted to buy a used hybrid to save gas on his commute to work. I told him hell no!.
Most of the ones he found were between 4 and 8 years old, and I reminded him that the battery life of most was between 5-10 years, so these cars were basically ticking time bombs before an expensive battery swap was needed.
He bought a used Cavalier 5-speed. He paid $2,500 for it, and could sell it tomorrow for $4,500 if he wanted to. 35 mpg and runs like a scalded orangutan!
Today, however, he took his Chevy Trailblazer. 18 mpg downhill with a tail wind. :rotf:

I paid about 5000$ for the amazing, powerful sports car ( :popcorn:) I have now. I've only ever bought 2 new cars and have decided it's worth buying used and have since.
The problem with cash for clunks that I see is that to many good cars got disposed of and not enough clunkers, which hurts those who can't afford a new car. I don't often say it but I agree with Rush this time.
Speaking of clunkers, I'm sure they would have gladly taken an old Buick off the road....

The only true statement in the DUmp OP. I feel so sorry for that mom. Imagine trying to explain anything to a kid like this. :bawl:

OMG, that is toooo funny!!! :lmao: :tongue:
Still there. The next post didn't "get" it, and the next one said "LOL."
It is maddening, isn't it, how some people just won't correct their thinking, given the facts. Even from their own "side." WTF do you do with these people?

I think that would be a very common sentiment if the DUmp had a Parents' Club.

The thing is . . . would any DUmp parents, except the Bostonian Drunkard's mother, admit to being parents of a DUmb****? :???: :???: :???:
