My point of view for Cash for Clunkers Federal program

Dear friends,

The help has arrived to the people.Taxpayers are buyers and sellers, the federal program has been a success, people have responded.

In the short term it is a true injection to our economy and on the long term to our environment and our oil dependency from countries that don't like us.

We need a national conscience to lower our oil dependency, we know that oil won't last forever, what are we going to do after the oil is gone?

This program covers in essence many of these topics and they have been addressed responsibly.

But one of my issues is that we are now a global economy and helping domestic car manufacturers ( American cars) would have made a lot of sense for our country.

The reality is that U.S. manufacturers they have not improved in the miles per gallon (MPG) and foreign manufacturers will reap the benefit.

Toyota,Honda, Hyundai,and others were ready for the challenge, american manufacturers were not.

This is program is a victory for the new administration, honor when honor is deserved.

We are loosing our managerial skills and competitive advantages, the great leaders of the past have gone to sleep and the new leaders are not waking up.

Let us not forget about our American industries, they need our help and we need them to maintain ourselves as an always progressive country.

We have a complex economy that have been the envy of the world for many years and we will overcome our current failures and grow stronger learning from our past .

I know this because, I am one of those americans and millions like me, are ready to built our nation stronger than ever, a block at a time.
Please have no doubt about it, we will succeed.
