Cash for Clunkers: Better than we thought

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The government's Cash for Clunkers program resulted in a far bigger boost to car sales than was previously estimated, even by the government, according to a new analysis by Maritz Research, an automotive market research company.

Maritz estimates that a total of 765,000 new vehicles were sold because of the program. Those cars wouldn't have rolled off dealer lots without the offer, they say.

The health insurance reform bill isn't going to fix healthcare. In fact I would venture to say it will only complicate the situation. That is only IF it passes, if it comes down to a vote I don't know if either bill will pass (there are unhappy parties on BOTH sides of the aisle afterall).

This is simply one analysis and I would like to know more details on how they arrived at it. Not that I don't like good news but the Government should not involve themselves in the outcome of the free enterprise system, they shoulg only be the referee. This Healthcare reform bill is another atempt by the left to create a bigger government and control 1/6 th of our econmy and its crap. Its not only the GOP saying no its 62% of the American People satying NO, and that whats important. Michalle Obama needs to keep her nose out of the publics buisness. If I want to go to McDonalds I will go. So lets go after another large Corp and make them look like the bad guy, and there employees can lose there jobs to,,YEA that works! Obama won't get another term. [ sorry guys didn't mean to make this political ]

badgewhore's comments ARE appropriate and relevant.

the C4C worked even better than initially figured. putting the LIE to all the GOPpie whack jobs who claim the feds can't do anything right.

brainwashed GOPpie sympathizers who want total deregulation of everything, are like the catholic bishops who have NO interest in interfering with the careers and "pastimes" of molester priests.

so the money grubby CEOs in banks, health insurance, Big Oily, etc. etc continue to rape the american people. and the GOPpie hacks they BUY, always can "see no evil."
