Top Cash for Clunker Swap List Remarkably Similar to Toyota’s Accelerator Recall List

Remember the good ole days when you rode around in the old but reliable clunker? It wasn’t much but it got you from point A to point B and it was paid for. It was yours and no one could take it away from you.

Then you heard that the government was running several car dealerships and they had an amazing deal just for you. They called it the Cash for Clunkers Program and they were going to take your old car and give you $4,500 in tax-payer money for it.

All you needed to do was come on down and pick yourself out one of a few select models they wanted you to drive. The down payment was given to you from the cash from your clunker and the lending policies were lax. It was a deal of a lifetime.

Now you are one of the millions of people in America that have lost your job and gotten behind on your car payment. You have to park it down the street at your friends house because the bank keeps sending the repo man to find it.

Then to make matters worse you find out your shinny new but incredibly small Prius might very well kill you and your family.

You see, I have been comparing the top sales in new cars from the Cash for Clunkers Program and the Toyota recall list and they are remarkably the same.

The number 1 seller on the government C4C list was the Toyota Corolla. Toyota is recalling them for a faulty accelerator that sometimes sticks wide open when had no intention of drag racing.

Also on the top C4C seller list were the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Camry which have been recalled for the same reason.

Mark Saylor, 45; his wife, Cleofe, 45; his daughter, Mahala, 13; and his brother-in-law, Chris Lastrella, 38, were all killed in widely publicized crash in A Lexus. Toyota produces the Lexus and they have been recalled as well.

Is anyone else wondering why the benevolent Obama Administration decided not to give the cars that were traded in on this program to unwed mothers or fatherless kids struggling to get a college education but rather destroyed all of them?
