<VV> Cash for Clunkers(no Corvair)

[Gary Swiatowy]

First, this is a discussion for VV-talk as it is more political than 
corvair.
I have CC-d this reply to that forum.
What I will add, is that clunker bills rear their ugly heads quite 
frequently, but considering the economy and the fact the Dem's will be in 
total control, I would be afraid, very afraid as this will get full backing 
from the UAW, the tree huggers, the manufacturers and more. They will not 
see the downside, as we see it.

Oppose the Federal "Cash for Clunkers" Program

Washington lawmakers are drafting a large economic stimulus package
to help create jobs and rebuild infrastructure. They want to include
a nationwide scrappage program which would give U.S. tax dollars to
consumers who turn-in older cars to have them crushed, as a misguided
attempt to spur new car sales. The lawmakers need to scrap this
idea.

The stimulus package is being drafted right now. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) wants to introduce the bill on January 6 and have it
approved by Congress by January 20, so that President Obama can sign
it into law after he is inaugurated.

Contact your Congressman and Senators IMMEDIATELY To Oppose Cash for
Clunkers! Send a handwritten letter/fax for the most impact!

Yes, this could be a serious concern to the hobbyist!
