Hmmmmmmmmmm hypothetical of course;
My American made POS (here come the flames) gets 13 MPG's with the wind at its back. Its worth about $2,000.00. The US Government will give me (basically) $4,500.00 of the 10's of thousands in taxes I have paid them over the last 30 years of working, instead of giving it to the slob who came here illegally. So I pay $4500 less for the car I want, which gets twice the MPG's, which cuts down on my dependence for fuel. At todays $3.00 per gal, I save $1,200.00 a year on fuel based on 12,000 miles per year. (Oh I'll just put that in a nice savings account right? I dont think so...........back into the economy it goes. ) What would happen if gas was only $2.00 PG?
At last check, 175,000 people had participated in the program. Multiply that x 400 gal of gas per year! Comes out to 70,000,000 gals less consumed by Americans.
You speak of low inventory? So American car companies now have to produce more cars, possibly creating more jobs (even temporarily is better then none at all) Oh shoot, ya mean now they cant collect unemployment? And American car companies can pay the government back the millions they owe them?
And I havent even begun yelling yet!!
