Should Cash For Clunkers be renamed to the Toyota Salesman Commissions Act?

My salesman that sold me the gorgeous new all wheel drive Toyota Venza said he took a week off in July but sold 24 cars anyway.

When I took back the car Saturday to get the inspection sticker he said the Toyota/Scion dealer was down to just 51 unsold new cars.

Since Ford, GM and Chrysler COMBINED totalled just 47 percent of sales, the majority going to Japanese brands, maybe we should rename CARS the Toyota Salesmen's Commissions Act.

Since 4 of the top 5 sellers were Japanese brands. Yes they are built in America. BY NON UNION WORKERS. Not lazy United Auto Workers slugs.
 
1. Aren't conservatives all about free trade and the right to buy whatever you want?

2. A HUGE number of Japanese companies manufacture their cars in the US. Toyota pickups, Nissan pickups, Camrys, Accords, etc. all made in the US... by AMERICANS, many of whom had been laid off by one of the big three previously!

3. Each one of those cars bought keeps an American-owned and run car dealership in business; keeps food on the table of an American salesman; and provides jobs to American mechanics.
 
Toyota and Honda plant workers in the US are protected by the UAW. The best-selling Toyota (the Corolla) is made in a plant in Ohio with some of the most worker-friendly bargaining agreements in the US.

Also, if $30/hour is too much to ask for auto workers, I'm not sure how they're supposed to survive.
 
Well, the Dems tried to put "buy American" restrictions in the program, but the Reps made them take it out. If they had put it in, I guess you'd have been happy with all those people in Kentucky losing their jobs. How dare they work for a non-US company? Let's unemploy all the Americans working for the 800 some non-US companies here in America. That should really help the economy!
 
Here's a thought. Our Government thought that the 1 Billion dollars for CARS would last until November....But the money ran out in 1 week.

This same Government is telling us how a National Healtcare system would not hurt the private insurance companies. We can keep our plans if we want to.... ( I think people will dump their plans for the cheaper national plan and the private companies would go out of business and many people will lose their jobs)

Do you trust our Government on what they think will happen in the future?

They were so far off on the Cash for Clunkers program....
