From its very inception, I thought this was an incredibly flawed program. It was billed as a taxpayer-sponsored method of initiating the sale of automobiles (helping to boost the economy), while increasing the fuel economy of vehicles on the road at the same time. But what purpose did excluding vehicles older than twenty-five years serve? And while fuel economy is important, what about the emissions of those vehicles older than twenty-five years, which I’d argue is more important than their meager fuel economy? And don’t get me started on the $2.8 billion of taxpayer money spent entirely too frivolously.

There was lots of stupid in this program, and if you’re a automobile enthusiast who agrees, this link will only make you weep even more. I’m still hoping that this list is somehow wrong, myself…
