One of the biggest screwing since removing freon from inhalers.
I was looking for a winter car & the Ford joint had a few Crown
Vics clean & under 100K. Couldnt sell them. That damn program
cost poor folk dearly by taking good low priced cars off the market.
Those poor CV's still had 10-20 years of life left.
And if you do the math it cost us over $50,000 per rebate.
Same with TV. How much did converter boxes cost us? Disposal ?
Energy & pollution to build 90% unneeded sets. Forced cable &
satellite due to going from over 20 OTA on rabbit ears to one
intermitant station ? Thanks for not minding your business.
Trust government to do the right thing ? ASK AN INDIAN.
