Cash for Clunkers cost us (taxpayers) $2000/car
Here's a great AND READABLE article in an electronic economics journal--The Economist's Voice--about the net costs to our society of the cash-for-clunkers program. By two University of Delaware economists. Net, it cost us about $1 billion extra...small change? One quote from this article is worth the whole thing: "Concentrated benefits create vocal advocates while diffused costs produce silent apathetic opponents."
