Cash for Clunkers: Where did OUR money go???
Here's the story:
a. Congress funds the program with $1 billion = $4,000/clunker = 250,000 total clunkers.
b. The program runs out of money after 1 week.
c. Average car sales per week = 125,000 cars
Conclusion: Someone got paid big time...and it's not consumers.
