$5000 rebates

California is offering rebates of up to $5000 to those who purchase approved electric cars and whatevers. Which leads me to note that I remember when a new car cost a lot less than that.

I also note that this whole GW thing is vastly unfair to the poor. I mean, do poor people drive new cars?? No. I mean catch the next clunker you see smoking down the highway and you find a POOR person driving it. Give them $5000 and I'll bet you they will upgrade to a 10 year old clunker rather than a 15 year old clunker. But no. Instead they give the money to someone who, if they wanted to sacrifice to stop GW, could cut out the Starbucks and pay for the new machines on their own.

Gesh. I mean really.
