What I don't like about it is the statement "anyone that has a car over 
8 years old, MUST buy a new one"...  What if I can't afford a new one??  
What if I don't WANT a new one??  My pickup is already 4 years old and 
it isn't paid off yet... so I'll get it paid off, and then 3 years 
later, I HAVE to go out and start over?  Where does the government get 
off trying to put me into debt?  I thought the country was in trouble 
because of too much debt already...  okay, that's enough...

(I know, this needs to go to VV talk...)
