Has anyone done the math? I can’t do math for shiz but I’m sure a “Czar” can. I’d like to submit the following questions for calculation:
How many new cars sit on car lots right now? How many people are likely to buy a brand new vehicle within the next 12 months (Per Gallup polls, Arbitron, and/or Census statistics)? Is there a surplus of new cars?
If so…why would we want to add to the surplus?
How many 10+ year old cars are on the road? How many emission violating vehicles are currently in use?
Why doesn’t the car Czar hire Jay Leno to determine a criteria for which old cars are suitable to stay on the road, set-up state by state vehicle testing and recycling centers – staffed by all the soon-to-be laid off auto line workers +, give credits and tax exemptions to those who recycle their beaters, gas guzzlers and polluters to buy the existing surplus of new cars.
Thereby creating jobs for the forthcoming displaced auto industry employees, their suppliers, etc., improving quality of life for consumers, and air quality for all.
Elementary? Maybe, but I bet this 10 min. “brainstorm” may make more sense, or least head in a better direction than whatever car Czar is gonna come up with…unless…Nominate Leno for Czar!
Your ideas…

Indiana chapters of Planned Parenthood are offering gift certificates for healthcare services at their clinics. Similar programs are or likely to become available in Illinois, New York, Alaska, and Michigan. Surely among it’s critics will be the Wolverine in Business Barbie clothing known as the governess of Alaska – who opposes sex-ed in her state.
Outraged groups ignore health service and education benefits citing ‘lethal’ treatment possibilities. Planned Parenthood president and CEO, Betty Cockrum asserts basic healthcare such as annual exams, including cancer screenings and contraception, are often put off in tough economic times such as these.
An ABC News.com commenter says, “Wal-Mart gift cards can be used to buy alcohol and ammunition … but nobody is outraged.” – Nuff said?
