    1. Stop allowing US companies to move their operations off shore.

    2. Sure, but many Americans would rather have kept their gas guzzlers than buy what they perceive as an inferior product.

    3. Not in the lifetime of anyone currently alive.

    4. As long as the people are willing to elect inept and corrupt politicians, we will keep giving them unlimited quantities of rope.

    PS: The first guy blames it all on Bush. Guess he doesn't remember fools like Carter and crooks like Clinton.

    1) Decrease the amount of Cash that exists, responsibly. In 2002 I bought my car for $1500. It was a 1993 Mazda Protege DX 5 speed with 92,000 mile (less then 100k for sure idk if definitely 92,000) .... the car was only 9 years old when i bought it... today the car is 18 years old and it costs the exact same amount according to kelly blue book. Inflation Absolutely exists. (try it with a car you bought 10 years ago)

    2) The cash for clunkers program never should have happened in the first place. The cars they were forced to destroy could have been sold for years, instead the people traded their car (with no payments in most cases) in for new cars whether they were foreign or domestic, they now have new debt to pay off, when they might get laid off, the program gave $3500 for trading a car getting 18mpg for one getting 22mpg... is that worth it to the tax payer even if mpg's matte rd to the environment? its only 4 mpg increase. (Work trucks needed to only get 1mpg better... THATS RIDICULOUS)

    3) The Government doesnt plan on downsizing.. they plan on taxing some of people more to pay for even more money going out. When the government acts like the parents of all citizens.. they need an large income (and just like the poor people who need money to take care of thier kids... they will get the money from the Rich)

    4) Hopefully there will be new people voted in before the government can Screw us over completely.

    1. make halliburton come back to the US.

    2. well, given that nearly all the clunkers returned were american, i think the buyers were a little more careful the 2nd time around.

    3. when the mess left by bush is cleaned up.

    4. i think bush took all the rope in the country.
