Evaluating Results of the Cash for Clunkers Program

Some interesting points to ponder about the “Car Allowance Rebate System“  ( formerly called “Cash for Clunkers“).   If that is not confusing enough bureaucratize , then what as.  Imagine some poor little old women phoning up to find out – press 1 , press 2 , then not being able to detail in the exact lingo of the department that she wants to trade in her old car.

First which cars were eligible ?Aha here is a list to a link – that is if you have computer skills and are current

Link for eligible cars for cars for clunkers.  LOL there is a good chance that an older person who is not big on change or high tech has access to a computer , an internet connection and knows how to use both or either

Secondly whom did this program benefit or provide much needed economic support to  ?  You can bet in all the graphs and charts – nicely colored and detailed this simple pointed question will not be asked

It seems that the most traded in vehicle was – the Ford Explorer .  SUV – sports utility vehicles rather than cars were what kept the domestic automakers awash in sales , profits to American buyers and kept the workers busy on the assembly lines of the US.  Well there will be lots of used – preowned Ford Explorers on the used auto lots of Toyota dealers.  It seems that Toyota not US car makers were the major beneficiaries of the largess of the American government and the us taxpayer.  Sure some of the components of the vehicles were “made ” in American auto factories but the for the most part these are simply assembly points – screwdriver plants

The real work and the real high paying jobs are back home in Toyota Japan not in the USA
