Where they took good used cars that the poor could afford to buy and shredded them. Of course, w/those cars off the market, it forced up the remaining used vehicles about 10-15% ( laws of supply and demand) As an end result, it hurt the poor.
Piers: But your right about katrina, nothing could of prevented that. However you dont think that katrina still effects the economy in 2011? All the problems just carry over to the next president, thinks dont fix them selves that fast economically and thats where people have to be more understanding. The only trickle down theory i see is the trickle down of problems from one president to the next. Even if obama doesnt win the next term you dont think the new president will have a mess to deal with?
No body is perfect of able being perfect due to the huge challenge running a super power as United States is. There is always a mass taking care of by the next president but some presidnets making bigger messes than others and the shape America was left in, after George W Bush was really terrible and Obama have really got a huge mess handling on.

jlw45: hmmm, why else does an asperin cost $10.00 ?....
yea, i'm sure there are other things to consider...a hospital has a huge overhead...but malpractice worrys, i would think, is the biggest overhead they've got...well, that and a new set of golf clubs every month...
An asprin costs ten dollers? where? One Asprin... TEN dollers?
katt1017: Obama's talking points from his teleprompter are not progress in any form of the word. My supervisor wanted to hear part of the press conference today and even he got disgusted with Obama acting like a petulant little boy when the press asked him hard, reality based questions.
Obama was put in place because he could not figure out he was a puppet for Soros and associates. He still does not see it. Instead he has his little snit because the press is no longer playing his game. Like a little boy he complains that they call him on his failings instead of taking responsibility for those failings and trying to make corrections to his path.
That is not the behavior of a leader or a statesman. That is the behavior of an immature, small and ineffective loser. He needs to be replaced and he will be replaced in 2012 no matter what you and the California dreamer want to pretend is going to happen.
Dang...you're harder on him than me. I heard part of it. He didn't come off too well.
AGreatGuy2: I believe if you do some objective research you will find that malpractice claims account for only a small percentage of increased costs of health care.
Ck out this link regarding the correlation between malpractice insurance and lawsuit settlements.

katt1017: I did not hear that part. It was turned on after it started and turned off early. It was getting to be too much of a car wreck at one point.
Hey Katt.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Former President George H.W. Bush, poet Maya Angelou, and sports greats Stan Musial and Bill Russell will receive the highest U.S. civilian award Tuesday.
They will join 11 others at the White House in receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- which recognizes people who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." The other recipients include former civil rights leader U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., visual artist Jasper Johns and billionaire investor Warren Buffett, the White House said.
President Barack Obama will also give the award, not limited to U.S. citizens, to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French-born U.S. cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Auschwitz concentration-camp survivor and humanitarian Gerda Weissmann Klein. Rounding out the list are labor leader John J. Sweeney, civil rights activist Sylvia Mendez, former diplomat and Very Special Arts non-profit founder Jean Kennedy Smith and Natural Resources Defense Council founder John H. Adams.
AGreatGuy2: Check craig's list.... there are plenty of cheap vehicle available still.
And the would be cheaper if a couple million hadn't been crushed and recycled. You can't beat the law of supply and demand. In this case, supply is more relevant.

Think carefully, vehicles were taken out of the market that pushes up the price of what is left. RIGHT?
Cars that would have ended up as parts cars at the salvage yard had their engines filled with epoxy then were shredded. Less available parts means higher prices for what there is to be had.
The effect is less than it was but it is still there. Sorry but your love for all things Obama does not change that.

I believe that the purpose of the program was to stimulate the car market so more cars would be sold... more made.. more ppl employed. Hasn't the lot of you been arguing that the President needed to do things to simulate employment??? You can argue out one side of your mouth that he needs to work on employment and argue out of the other side that programs that do just that are bad.
