Stolen money for ‘clunkers’

The effect (or goal?) of the Obama regime’s ‘cash for clunkers’ idiocy:

1. People are going into debt in exchange for their fully paid-for vehicles
2. The vehicles that are traded-in are required to be destroyed, eliminating a huge source of spare parts for other paid-for vehicles
3. Shortages created in the low-cost used car market, thus driving up the cost of used cars, thus hurting the poor

Create debt-slaves; hurt the poor; create massive amounts of waste. Mission accomplished.
