You can trade in a “heavy truck” for another “heavy truck” and still get the maximum $4500 rebate with NO mileage improvement what-so-ever. Let’s face it, this is a handout to the American auto industry dinosaur that has been “greenwashed” to appease liberals who were already at the vanguard of making conciencious decisions to buy fuel efficient vehicles at a premium price.

It’s not the environment – it’s the economy, stupid. This is just an attempt (maybe successful) to help turn around the pesimistic consumer mood by encouraging some spending to preserve jobs to reduce the fear that causes the downward spiral of confidence. Yes, it’s a bit like helping a hangover with a shot of whiskey, but, man! what a hangover.

Hopefully we learn our lesson and don’t party so hardy next time…

Next time consult with a smarter relative.
