I just heard that the auto destruction rate (old cars and trucks or those in an accident that are not repaired) is running at a 12.5 million annual rate, while new car production is only at a 9.5 million rate.

But the "sad" thing is an Obama person was on CNBC and said she was not sure that would boost car sales and that maybe americans have to start thinking about fewer cars per family. rather than 2 or 3 cars in a household we go back to the days of 1 car and people need to take more mass transit.

This is sick ... Obama wants to push the US back to 50's or other poor nations. Maybe that is his answer to a greener economy, just make us so poor that people are forced to walk or ride mass transit.

Obama's "HOPE" message is turning in to Obama's "FEAR" message to socialize this country.

I know I am scared.
