As I stated before I post from my phone. The blockers my work has will not allow me to access the forum. It's ok by me if you only want to research the side that benefits your side of the issue.
As written in the law from cars.gov. pg 50.g. Disposal of Trade-In Vehicles ( 599.400-403)"During the six month period prior to the required crushing or shredding of the trade in vehicle , the disposal facility may sell any parts of the vehicle other than the engine block or drive train (unless the drive train is dismantled and sold in parts)." Thats a whole bunch of parts gonna be sold off of those 750 k junked cars.
According to the DOT there are over 263 mill vehicles on the road in the USA, of which 32.8% are over 10 yrs old. I would conclude that yhe estimated 750 k vehicles traded in for cash for clunkers are not going to touch the amount of vehicles still on the road that will be supplying and purchasing parts from the 7700 authorized disposal facilities.
so you have "concluded" eh? oh well then it is settled. use your head. destroying wealth is a bad idea. taking valubale items, using taxpayer dollars to buy them and then destroying them, this reduces the overall wealth we have and makes us a poorer country. and it gets us in two ways, because not only do we destroy the wealth, we tax folks to do it. and dont be stupid. shrinking the supply of parts is NECESSARILY bad for folks who need parts. your "conclusion" is stupid. explain again how you "concluded" that wealth destruction is a good idea? there is one argument to make here, and only one. that argument is that fuel efficiency save the environment. that is a bogus argument. anything else, any nonsense about stimulus or saving auto companies, this is all bull**** and lies. this cash for clunkers crap is a taxpayer punishing, economy hurting boondoggle, nothing more.
