But hey, the clunkers program was a "success!" I mean they only spent 3 billion dollars on scrap metal. This in turn stimulated the auto industry..... Ok, now we've looked at the little picture. Now lets take a look at the big picture....

Scrap prices dropped, what's the 3 bil gonna cost in the long run, and what can the auto industry expect for sales for the rest of the year....maybe even into next year! now lets add all these people who hadn't bought a new car in so long because in reality they couldn't AFFORD one. Now they have it, the price of food is skyrocketing, fuel going up, winter on the prowl, and unemployment still on the rise.

Ya... sounds like success to me!
