Do We Really Need More Cars?

Submitted by eow on Thu, 01/29/2009 - 13:12
Oh boy it just keeps getting sillier. According to CNNMoney, congress is considering ways to get people to buy new cars. This is just another example of how broken our system is. If people truly needed cars they would buy cars. The fact is they don't. There is no demand. Years of cheap credit and 0 percent financing took car of that. The auto industry is a wasteful, dirty, industry. It needs a huge round of creative destruction, not federal subsidies to keep it limping along like it is. Congress and the federal government should stay out of the business of propping up demand where it doesn't exist. It makes absolutely no sense. If congress is intent on stimulating spending, why not do it in industries that have the potential for positive change. Why not stimulate industries that move us forward into the 21st and 22nd centuries, not back to the the 20th.
