What good are the numbers when they are distorted by government spending
programs? Claims that $4500 car rebates cost taxpayers $24K? That's
absurd. Giving people $8K to buy a house, and that costs taxpayers
$46K? With that kind of "social spending" you could give away cars that
cost less than $10K and liveable RV trailers that don't require
financing?

Those numbers are absurd, and I suspect someone pulled them out of their
ass.


Actually, it was a study by Edmunds, who seem to know plenty about
automobile sales...

What happens when a car dealership closes?
