I wish they would get more of those polluting cars off the road. That Cash for Clunker program is a great program.

#1 Why are you driving such an old vehicle around?

#2 How on earth do you afford gas in that gas hog with today's gas prices?

Watch the old TV news from 2000 or 2001. I remember all of the people howling about how they could not afford to drive to work and stuff. Gas prices have now far exceeded those prices and we have way more layoffs now than back then making it harder to afford today's gas prices more than ever.
