However, away from that note, This cash for clunkers program, even if it is taking taxpayer money, is a good idea in my opinion, as it allows people the ability to get more fuel efficient vehicles, and in the process, make at least some dent in our consumption of foreign oil. I recently bought a new Ford car, and I LOVE the 32 MPG average I get in my home county, so even if it is a government program using taxpayer money, I support this particular program, it seems to be working and very popular.
