Cash for Clunkers or When Socialism Makes Everything Better

700k in new car sales result from the cash for clunkers program. You'd think that car makers might get the idea that in order to sell more cars they should consider dropping prices and controlling costs. Hmmmm, nah, dumb idea. Let's just wait until we're drowning in debt and unprofitable. Then, we'll beg the government for help and they'll hand us taxpayer money since the tax payers won't do it on their own.

Ahhh, socialism. Where have you been all these years?
