    Re: Clunker Math

    How about some MORE math:

    THE amount of carbon savings from the approximate 1 million cars sold under cash for clunkers is less than 1 /Thousandth of a PERCENT.

    There are about 600 MILLION vehicles in the world.......about 230 MILLION in the US.

    Transportation makes up about 14% of TOTAL greenhouse gas emissions worldwide....I think that is HIGH........but hey......what do I know.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas

    14% / 600,000,000 = 2.333333 e - 10

    So each vehicle makes up about .00000000023 Percent of the Emissions....

    Way to GO Obama.....you effectively WASTED a few BILLION dollars, did NOTHING for the economy, and ZERO for Greenhouse Gas Emissions......

    Morons are running our country.........YES.........MORONS.

    The MORONS flying around the country to town hall meetings have generated more greenhouse gas than all the savings for 10 YEARS from the cash for clunkers program.

    Hey, will you do my taxes this year? The numbers will be smaller, but no less confusing or amusing.
