It simple you take the money if you qualify. When Bush sent out "stimulus" checks did we not take the money. If you feel the money should go elsewhere then send it there yourself. That is what Reagan would have done.

Just remember you will have to pay tax on the $

My grandfather was an artillery spotter in Germany during the war (including The Bulge). He has no problem with my German automobile.

I'm not surprised that mostly all of the 0bama bumper stickers that I still see on cars are on vehicles of foreign make. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Q: What Would Reagan Do?

A: Support free markets. Be a capitalist, no excuses, no embarrassment.

Get the most money you honestly can for the old car, period. Sell it outright, take the government money, even donate it to charity and take the tax write-off if that yields the greatest economic benefit to you.

The relevant morals? The administration thinks it has the money it is spending, if the money alloted for this program is not used up then they will believe they have extra money they can spend elsewhere. Stupid but true, proven to be espoused by many Democratic lawmakers for a very long time on every level of government, and even some Republicans as well. If it is in your best financial interest to do so anyway, liberate that ill-gotten money from the clutches of government, distribute it among businesses and even charities that you want to see do well, if it will help them succeed despite government then it is extra good.

Support capitalism, get the most you can, then create your own "economic stimulus" as you know it should be done. That is what Reagan would do.

A "Tragedy of the Commons" dilemma. The trick is to be the first to grab the cash before it devalues or runs out, because there's no upside to forgoing the pay-off.

I traded in my 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport last month for a "new" used (previous lease) 2007 Jeep Gran Cherokee, with every bell and whistle available. I didn't want any free money – there's always some kind of string attached and I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror without feeling guilty. Strangely enough, my "new" Gran Cherokee burns E85 fuel if I choose to do so, but i don't.
