CNN reported the following headline this morning:

Ok, so there were 700,000 people that got cash for there clunker, and there was $3 billion budget. Simple math shows that the average payout per car owner was $4,285.71. This suggests that a lot of consumers qualified for the higher payout. I am a little surprise by this since I thought that the formula was set up to the lower payout option.

There are currently 304,059,724 people living in the United States today. This means that roughly 4% of the population got the benefit of using cash for clunkers.

At the MGH West Parc Office Building Garage in Waltham Massachusetts they did something very creative. To help people park center of their space, they extended the lines to the walls.

What a creative idea! The garage was a little challenging to drive around, but once I found a parking spot, I was able to easily center the car between the lines.

This simple idea probably have prevented many accidental dents when opening the car door because of not centering the car to the parking space.

Here's the official website to check to see if your car qualifies for the Cash for Clunker program. Remember the car has to have a combined fuel economy of 18 mpg or less according to current EPA ratings.

Seeking Alpha reports:

Obama adviser Laura Tyson wants lawmakers to draft a second stimulus package, calling the $787B package approved in February 'a bit too small,' though she says she's speaking for herself and not the White House.

How could $787 Billion not stimulate the economy? Where did all that money go? Who is getting it and why isn't it trickling through the economy?
