But, that's the problem...a $300.00/month payment where they didn't have one to begin with.
My tax dollars are going to a program that is stimulating...what? Everyone? Nope, just the automotive industry and its inefficient system that's still in place...and the program is being overseen by an even-more inefficient system...our own gubment. Anyone need a $300.00 valve-stem cap?
Generated sales are one thing...artificially generated sales are a whole different matter. Why are we taking something that's still perfectly good and trashing it out? And all of this is based on junk-science and backed-up by arm-chair experts that have text-book knowledge but little, or no, real-world experience with any of it.
This is another example of "Chicken Little" screaming that the sky if falling and no one is TAKING THE TIME AND COMMON SENSE to correct a serious problem...
Throw money at it...it will get better...
BS!
That's my money! (And for those of you that haven't figured it out yet...it's your money, too! (

Spend it right or lose your job!
