To me, in addition to what you wrote, it seems like such a waste to see
perfectly good transportation going to waste.  I understand getting rid
of 'guzzlers', but the cars I've seen certainly were not what I would
call clunkers and I know my own vehicles would have qualified for the
program.  The intention was to stimulate buying, and it did that, but
low income folks and middle class folks on unemployment surely could not
have gotten new transportation.  Who needs a new car payment when you've
lost income as it is?  Seems to me that at least some of these vehicles
could be used for government work/agencies or charitable groups like
Meals on Wheels.  I know quite a few people just neighbors on my road
that could use any form of transportation.
