We don’t need another “gummint” program to get clunkers, or anything else, off the road. We need government to get out of the way (i.e. – lower taxes).

I own a Clunker – a 1999 Ford Expedition with 63,000 miles on it. It runs great, I’ve had very, very few problems with it, and everything on it works as it’s supposed to. Oh, the most important thing – it’s paid for. I’m not about to trade in a perfectly good automobile. I don’t want the payment, and I don’t see why my perfectly serviceable automobile should be destroyed.

Since I drive only a few thousand miles a year it would take me years and years to recoup the difference in gas savings.

This is yet another example of the “ready, fire, aim” approach to problem solving that our government “leaders” take.
