Consumers Can’t Save $750 by Driving a More Efficient Gun to Work

Everytime I do TV, there’s one line I immediately wish I had used as soon as the opportunity passes, and that’s the line I wish I had used to rebut Bob Franken’s inane argument that we ought to replace the Cash for Clunkers program with the Gravy for Guns program. "Consumers can’t save $750 a year driving a more efficient gun to work." I also wish I had had about 20 minutes to be able to rebut the stupid arguments about GM and Chrysler shutting down dealers so they can compete with Toyota.

Nevertheless I had a bit of fun arguing in favor of the Cash for Clunkers program.
