                  There are merits to this. People buy new energy-efficient appliances (spurs the economy a bit, increases consumer spending, keeps the wheel turning) and the rebates get in their hands right at Christmas shopping season (jumpstarts the most important buying season). I'm ok with it.

                      I'm sure some neo-con will have an issue with this. I mean stimulating the economy reducing greenhouse gasses and the consumer saving on his electric bill. Oh my what a disaster!

                                      It's such a silly program that every state in the union has applied for the funds and will receive an average of $19M each. I was listening to a couple of energy experts talk about it on NPR (All Things Considered) yesterday and they said $300M wasn't enough but that the program would save enough energy to power NYC for a week. In addition, it will bring back a good number of jobs and help struggling suppliers.

                                      The Cash for Clunkers program has actually greatly stimulated the economies in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania (as well as other areas) because they are calling back 30% of laid off workers at the big 3 and have reopened a bunch of plants. The President of the Steel Workers Union said it has been the best thing to happen to that sector in years and will help spurn alot of development... like planting a seed and watching a plant grow... we will see what happens.

                                                  From the article it says the money is from the stimulus money already passed...so the money is already there..no need to lend us more money.

                                                  From the second paragraph of the article...

                                                  The money is part of the broader economic stimulus bill passed earlier this year.

And I'm not sure why people here that are supposedly business people don't get. The stimulus plan makes money. peole act as if the money spent won't come back. it will and then some. Not sure wh this is hard to get. Ok people here run businesses right? Do you do it for FREE? No you spend money? WHY? Because that money eventually makes even more money. Same type thing. If you never spent the initial money you wouldn't make shit.

There is no merit to any opposing point of view. Stimulus has been tried before, i.e. in Japan. It didn't work. When you artificially tinker with things no one knows what the outcome will be. Things have to be done yes. Not everyone agrees with the methods. Is that so hard to understand?

Do you really believe the words coming out of your mouth. There are no sure bets. Not without artificial manipulation in some cases. Economic principles are one thing economic reality is completely different. I'm sure you've impressed some of the people on this board still living with mom and dad with your teaser. Why don't you educate me...

                                                                                                                                              hopefully the windows credit will still be in effect latter this year. just wish i had enough cash to let the wife purchase a house under the first time home buyers program to get that rebate too.

I'm all for it and think it's a great move. It won't have the $$$ impact that CARS did but it's one more small step in the right direction. The US will prevail.

It's a matter of speech and one used in all corners of the media to put things in terms that most people can understand.

                                                                                                                                                      I am aware of how the system works. Do you really believe the words coming out of your mouth. There are no sure bets. Not without artificial manipulation in some cases. Economic principles are one thing economic reality is completely different. I'm sure you've impressed some of the people on this board still living with mom and dad with your teaser. Why don't you educate me...
