    Keep your eye on the ball. We're subsidizing auto purchases with money we haven't yet printed on a durable good. In the future, there will be a demand lag. Additionally, we've destroyed billions of dollars worth of perfectly good autos. And who knows what that money could have been used for? Most likely it would have been spent to actually stimulate the economy.

    Instead, we decide to break single pane windows to replace them with double pane. Genius. Fucking genius.
