"Cash for clunkers" was a fucking cunty ruse by the previous alleged President with the support of both the Demican and Republicrat parties to undermine any other car manufacture other than Government Motors.

Their plan was to get all viable used older automobiles off of the street that were affordable to low income folk forcing them to buy something they could not afford. It also temporarily shuttered used car dealerships to only reopen three or four years later to resell the newer older vehicles for theivey prices.

I have not and will never again buy a new vehicle for the rest of my life.

Yep... This has completely destroyed so many poor peoples' lives to the point of forcing them to become homeless people. This helped to explode the homeless populations across the nation. The United States of America may indeed be the land of opportunity, but it is also the country where victimization of others is absolutely crucial if you want to become a big shot, worshipped, and loved by the masses.

yeah, trump is using the same rigged reporting and numbers that Obama was using.

It looked dismal under Obama, so when Trump slightly improved the numbers now it looks insanely great.

Meanwhile the reality is that everything still is in decline!

The numbers are shyt!

Not knocking Trump, at least he's trying, but it's like trying to turn the titanic around and make it back to England after it has already struck the iceberg.

Meanwhile the deck chairs are shifted.

Or even better have them redeem the ticket at any dealer.

They can even have tickets like buy an up to 50k vehicle for 10k.buy a 20k car for 1 k.

If you win the vehicle for total value then its free.

If a person wins the a credit check is not applied.

The lotto commission makes up the rest of the value of the won vehicles.

They could do the same thing with the housing market.

Cox Automotive had projected a slight increase last month but said the factors it based that on — a generally buoyant economy and pent-up demand after frigid weather and a government shutdown in January — did not boost demand as much as anticipated. And two consecutive declines to start 2019 doesn't bode well for the rest of the year, said Cox senior economist Charlie Chesbrough. "There are two data points now to suggest this market is weakening at a significant pace," Chesbrough said.

Year to date, sales are down 2.6 percent, the biggest decline for the first two months of a year since 2009

Manufacturer dictates to the Owner of a dealership that their sales... (orders) need to be 10% growth over last year to get their 1/4ly "holdback". If dealer doesn't meet objective, they loose potentially $100's of thousands in Holdback dollars. These Holdback dollars go straight to the dealer to be used to keep his store afloat. It does not go to the sales guys, etc. Manufacturer cuts margin on MSRP to a fictitious "invoice" number to 3.5% and holds the rests as long as dealer hits his "order" number... because THAT is how manufactures report sales... and now dealers pack the hell out of their loaner fleets to hit objectives. It is all BS. Consumer gets screwed, Dealer gets screwed... Sales guys got screwed long ago and continues. (You all can thank the Mercedes Benz of the world for this crap. And then the US companies follow suit by putting dumb assed Europeans in charge, they FAIL each and every time... *cough* Cadillac.... but they keep drinking the koolaide.

 Quoting: TIO JUAN


America is living beyond its means and our Government is also robbing the Middle Class blind in order to keep the MIC scam running as well as keep the billions in tribute payments to Israel and Saudi Arabia flowing, rather than using those monies to pay down the debt and give the Middle Class a much needed break. The College Industrial Complex - which has also milked the Middle Class - is also to blame. Most Americans who went to college cannot get high paying jobs to pay back the usurious debt and therefore are not investing in the housing and stock markets and instead are living at home, living paycheck to paycheck and saving rather than spending. It's a recipe for disaster, could be rectified with the right leadership. Trump ain't going to fix it. Ron Paul and likeminded genuine fiscal conservatives could fix it but America's elites have rejected that course. So, expect a great economic Chastisement permitted by God to correct the situation. TPTB have been giving decades to repent but refuse to do so.

6000 stores are closing..

Who gives a fuck stores close even when times are good.

I see restaurants opening all over town. New construction everywhere.

So I dont really care about stores with failed business models closing. They need to close and let something replace them.

There isn't a single empty store front that I can find in town. It hasn't been like this in my entire lifetime.


I remember empty storefronts when I was a kid in the 80s. This is unreal.
