<VV> Cash for Clunkers

[J R Read_HML]

Well, let's get them (the Pols) thinking in another direction.

Give (for example) a $3,000 tax credit over a 3 year period provided the car 
is kept for the period - say 1,000 per yr or some other schedule - for the 
purchase of a "green" US built car.  Does not matter if a car was traded or 
junked.  This would help the economy recover as well as leading the US fleet 
toward a more eco-friendly (oil independence?) outcome.

But, this will probably put this topic into the realm of "talk" categories 
and I'm not a member over there - so will shut up on it.

Later, JR
