Screw this Cash for "Clunkers" CRAP

Aside from hurting the average consumer who is not in the position to purchase a new car, as [my friend] Jon said [in his response to a question on facebook about this article http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_lawrence_kudlow/vote_for_the_clunkers], the mere act of rendering useless a perfectly good used car, not even offering it as a used auto or scrapping it out for parts in the aftermarket repair industry, or even usable domestic scrap metal, but instead shredding it and shipping the metal overseas for processing into who knows what, that we will in turn eventually be buying from China, further stimulating THEIR economy, NOT OUR OWN, is not only shortsighted, but horribly wasteful, irresponsible and harmful to not only the environment, but what little manufacturing and service economy we have left in this country and I for one find it disgusting.
