I genuinely have no idea what you are trying to say. It didn't put money into anyone's hand. Low income families who rely on used cars saw a sudden increase in prices due to this program. As far as helping the environment it is almost nill to none. You've destroyed like a couple billion dollars with no payoff, other then rape the wallets of low income earners.
This is stimulating middle class purchases by aiding sales. Sorry it will help the envirnment long term and save people gas money, it just will through the process of common sense. This is one of the things funded least in the bailout package and so far it's been the most successful using the least amount of money. It was so successful they had to get extra people just to process it. Being better than expected used to be a good problem. If you're figuring in terms of waste this holds no candle to what we do with no benefit in so many other areas. There are so many things wasting more money without any benefit why are we *****ing about the one effective program?
Ok I'll address the money thing. First off c4c only addressed certain purchases. So for any cars not sold on the program the dealership got it's standard money. They have to wait for the bonus to make sure they aren't ripping off the program and our money. They will get it though it's just a question of waiting. So what we have here are dealerships which either wouldn't be selling **** at all with the same overhead or dealerships making some profits (factory incentives, money off interest, money extra from program) or a dealership making none, cause if they were selling cars at a normal rate outside the program they would still be doing fine (they aren't). So whats better, doing some buisness getting some money and having to wait for the rest, or getting no buisness and no money? It's not that hard to decide between the two. I want my money now, but unfortunately in buisness sometimes you have to wait a bit to get that check, it's called life, noting except for credit card bills ever run effectively and before their time.
Look I'm sorry (In a very small way) the dealerships are having trouble, but it's not my responsibility or the govs to kiss their bottoms and make them feel special. This is the first thing that's gotten customers into their doors in a long time, if the gov needs extra time to process all of this (which is partially their fault for flooding the air waves with "BIG BIG SALES COME ON IN TODAY AND DON'T MISS OUT!!!") so we don't get ripped off by scammers I'm fine with it. They could have limited the number of c4c sales or done a number of things but instead they jammed asses to seats at a rate they knew was much higher than predicted and just assumed the gov would like next day process it? Boo ****ing hoo, be glad you got something, I'm sure there are plenty of industries that would love a program like c4c right now.
