Cash for Clunkers...

You mean like that "gas guzzling" little Volvo in that was destroyed the video above?

Like I said before - the purpose of this program is to destroy as many used cars as possible making them more expensive and therefore less attractive to buyers. It's not difficult to understand, or at least it shouldn't be.

Well first, Fox News is not very reliable, they lie routinely. It could just be a random car they film being crushed.
-> Have you seen the story where they photoshopped some liberal journalists to make them look uglier, have a larger forehead?

In any case, there are older sedans that have lower than 18 MPG, and yes they are considered a gas guzzler. The program dictates that the car must be around 18 MPG or lower (additional complex rules about weighted average mpg, but you can look that up).

Uh, the Volvo video was not made by the evil Fox News. If you really care about "truth" maybe you should actually WATCH the video before making comments?

I don't watch TV besides sports, but I did see when they did this:



Oops... that was CBS, not Fox News.

How about this?



Nope, this time it was USA Today, not Fox News.

Maybe this?



Oh, wait... that was Agence France-Press, not Fox News.

And this hilarious example...



This time it was Reuters, not Fox News.

And this...



Courtesy of the Los Angeles Times, not Fox News.

Remember this?



Again, not Fox News.

I have many more if you want to see them. I'm betting you don't.

Obviously if other News sources cheat, that means Fox News is totally reliable all the time.

Right wingers LOVE straw-man arguments.

I'm not sure of the pictures you posted, you didn't post sources, though I wouldn't be surprised if they're true.

But I have to make a correction about the missles, they were photoshops done by the Iranian government.

As for my source of Fox News photoshopping Liberal Journalists to make them look uglier:

When did I ever say Fox News was perfect? Talk about a straw man...

Right wingers LOVE straw-man arguments.

Clueless left wingers love making broad generalizations.

But I have to make a correction about the missles, they were photoshops done by the Iranian government.

And distributed world-wide by Agence France-Press in a blatant attempt to mislead the public.

According to cars.gov: "Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG" but more efficient cars (like our little Volvo) are eligible if the new car gets better mileage.

Regardless of the semantics of the law the government is wasting billions in an attempt to alter the free market.
