You mean like make major purchases like cars?
And less cars sold later so it is a wash, no improvement at all, your just robbing peter (sales months down the road) to pay paul (extra sales today).
As for our tax payer dollars paying for it... No biggy. How much of that $4500 gets pumped back into the system VIA taxes on the new vehicle? In my state, your looking at a good $1500 or so on a $20,000 vehicle.
And those same taxes collected if nothing is done, just collected over several months instead of in one month. So there is no gain in tax funds but there is a huge increase in Government spending without any way of paying for it because we are broke.........I call that a biggy.
Right now my wife (who makes seats for the Ford Escape) is on overtime, scheduled for it, well into NEXT FUKKING SUMMER, and they're looking for more help because not only do they need to restock the dealers, they need to work on next years models. But on the other hand, we have a different type of factory in town that is shutting down leaving 220 people without jobs. I'll gladly contribute $4500 to keep my wife and others in my community, working steady hours instead of the 30something hours they were getting.
So as long as it keeps your wife working, screw everyone else.......typical Liberal/Union thinking. Your wife gets overtime, other workers get fired and end up on welfare and unemployment......a net loss on Government tax dollars right there.
As for the dealers not getting paid yet... like I said before... it's been a fukking MONTH since C4C started...BIG DEAL.
If you provide a service to a customer do you expect to wait 30, 60, or even 90 days to be paid?
I love that comparison to health care, your basically saying the government couldn't run it right because it will be so popular. You call THAT a rebuttal?
**** yes it is a rebuttal.
It is popular because it is "free money" and once your giving away free insurance and medical treatments there will be a flood of people to sign up, get in line and get their free treatments but the real point is not how popular it is and your completely missing that point..........The Government never plans enough ahead, and it guesses way, way low on costs in "EVERYTHING" they do.
The Government does not have anyone who is qualified to run something like this, anyone qualified would never work for the Government.
Nobody is in the entitlement crowd here, it's simply stimulating the economy by giving people jobs, which in turn gives them more money to spend, which in turn, gives someone else business.
WELL worth the $4500 investment.

Well that is certainly a very childish understanding of economics, but it leaves most of the real things out of the equasion, such as inflation that gobbles up most of the positive gain caused by the blind spending on a deficit. The overhead of a completely inneficient Government entitity is another. The swap off when you artifically stimulate one area BUT NOT ANOTHER.
Give you an example: The program causes a family to rush their plans of buying a new car to replace an older one so they can take advantage of the "free money". But, they were not ready so they have to scratch up the downpayment money (finance companies still wanted to see at least $500 down cash) and let's not forget the huge difference in cost for insurance to go from an older paid off car with basic insurance to full coverage insurance on a new car.
This family has gone from a normal spending family for all things like entertainment and such is now suddenly reduced to living very lean and spending little each month that is not 100% needed.
Your short sighted boost actually causes longer term depression of the economy in many ways. Understanding that is what seperates most 'true' conservatives from the Liberals/Socialists who can only see the short term gains and ignore the long term harms of what they do.
