It was a proposal to give the cars to charities instead of detroying them....the vote was interesting.

And we repukes are the one who don't care about the poor?

Yeah, I wondered about that when the details came out. There are several charities that take "clunkers" for the poor. This little exercise is backfiring on the administration. I'm kinda liking it. Well, except for the part where my higher taxes have paid for people to destroy perfectly decent cars so they can buy a brand new one.......

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Then there are people like me who are driving a 15 year old car and just praying it makes it to work and home and back each day  :hyper:

Been there, done that.  Not a lot of fun either.
