Unless you are a Canadian Ford, Dodge, or G.M. employee, then it looks like
manna from heaven!

I don't really have a problem with the program, if you don't want your car
crushed don't trade it in. It seems to me that a whole lot of old $800 vans
are now worth about $4500. Any decent van may become a rarer collectible,
maybe some day we can all charge GoWesty prices.

 I'm not interested in a political debate, so I'll leave that part alone.
However, it would be nice to see Japan, Germany, Sweden, Korea  kick in a
little something for this program, it seems their economies are seeing some
stimulus off of this as well.
