(NB CarBeat) Ford Motor Company reports higher sales for July than expected, points to the “Clunkers for cash” stimulus plan as a “great example” for putting America back to work.

Senator Ringworth (D-Colorado) declares that with each clunker ” a new era of government support once again mortgages future generations for the ill-thinking oil-drunk Americans” and suggests a mandate of 20% minimum electric cars be purchased as part of this “cash for poor people to buy modest gas guzzlers” despite the restricive policy of cars eligible for this program.

However, there are unintended consequences yet to be revealed, such as the percentage guaranteed on cash profits in the ”clunkers for cash” dealer sale and the disposal trail that is yet to be determined for these rust buckets.

Unnamed surces that Oregon will not push for “free fill” for many dangerous and abondoned mines to be filled with shredded steel.
