I would love a nice new car, but the Xterra is paid off.

Car dealers are complaining that claims for rebates for the program are being denied. Yet I wonder how many dealers dealt with cars like that of my daughter's neighbor.
The neighbor had a Honda Fit (remember, these have only been in production since 2007 and get about 28 MPG city) they traded in. My daughter was furious when the neighbors told her it was traded under the cash for clunkers program as this was not the kind of car the program was set up for.
I wonder how many other dealers traded "junkers" like theirs and are now complaining that they are not getting their refunds due to "minor oversights" on the paperwork.

Too bad instead of bailing out banks, auto dealers, etc. the government just doesn't give a cash stipend to everyone under a set income level and let them help boost the economy by buying items they need.

Our gov't did that a few years ago, under Prez.Bush. The stimulus checks made more sense IMO than these silly (& expensive) bailouts/stimulus plan/cash4clunkers programs. However, they still didn't help boost the economy.
One word: Reaganomics.
