Cash for Clunkers
Democrats enacted the successful “Cash for Clunkers” program to support a new clean energy economy by providing consumers with up to $4,500 towards the purchase of new, more fuel-efficient vehicles when they trade in their old gas-guzzlers. This legislation is a common sense way to spur car sales at a time when auto companies and dealers are suffering while at the same time we provide a boost to our clean energy economy and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
