Default Re: Interesting Chrysler News

Chrysler may be crazy. But they are doing something.
The idea of moving vehicles off the lot by solving the high fuel costs "at the consumer level" will not solve the long term problem. But it will help Mr. john smith consumer. Right now.

This isn't the first time Chrysler put their money where their mouth is. Remember the funky economy of the Carter years. Just as they were coming out of bankruptcy Chrysler sent a $500.00 voucher to anyone who had bought a car during the reconstruction of the company. A few years and lots of K cars later, they paid the government backed loan off early. The government three hundred dollar tax rebates will be repaid by whom? You and me and our children...
Nice.

To all of the above I would ask this question,

Who has a track record of getting out front quickly with a solution to the problem, Washington or the business community? And who will shut down the program when it doesn't work anymore? Name a government program that was shut down when no longer effective.

Stop looking to Washington for the answers. They are all too busy getting re-elected.
