@Handre Plus I'd argue it was WORSE for the environment. Having to produce all NEW vehicles has a far larger "carbon footprint" than just using existing vehicles.

Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress.
The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely.
Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on.
The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors.
Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

MUST SEE: This Missouri resident captures a Latino man (immigration status unknown) attempting to break into cars and homes at night.
The resident pins the Latino man to the side of his house while he waits for authorities to arrive.
The twist to this story is that a few days later, the Latino man was RELEASED where he went on to assault a massage therapist by exposing himself, beating her, and attempting r*pe.
This story has sparked OUTRAGE on how repeat offenders should be dealt with and how St. Louis operates as a sanctuary city despite statewide bans.

Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California.
Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl.
Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action.
“We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Nick Shirley FOLLOWED the California Speaker of the House and a Senator for pushing the Stop Nick Shirley Act, which CRIMINALIZES anti-fraud journalism
They were stumbling, panicked, REFUSING to acknowledge that levying up to $50K fines for journalism is TYRANNY
SHIRLEY: "Speaker Rivas...AB 2624? Is there a conflict of interest with Mia Bonta, and her husband being the ATTORNEY GENERAL?"
RIVAS: "I don't know." *Runs into car* 🤯
SHIRLEY: "These people won't even answer the questions."
