Cash For Clunkers Resulted In Trucks For Trucks

Analysis of federal data shows that a substantial number of the participants in the federal "Cash for Clunkers" program merely swapped an older truck for a newer one with slightly better gas mileage. What do you think?

Old Man

Franklin Spain,
Dock Builder
"Wait, a lot of people did that? That's probably why no one's impressed by my new truck"

Young Woman

Clarissa Edge,
Helix Coil Winder
"I'm sure things would have gone differently if you could tow four dirt bikes and a speedboat with a Nissan Altima."

Asian Man

Gary Lambdin,
Unemployed
"I thought about switching to a hybrid car, but then I heard those gruff baritone truck-commercial voice-overs in my head belittling and emasculating me."
