The environment was decimated by the literal disposal of cars, rather than salvaging them or leaving them on the road (a stark reminder of how Government Motors killed the Electric Car). People are further into debt than ever before, sometimes with 84 or 96 month loans. Car manufacturers are acting like morons by increasing production just so they can have more cars sit in lots now that this sugar high (excellent metaphor!) is over.
They've extended it again- by popular demand, and because it works!
By "works", do you mean that it was supposed to be a program where people would trade in their clunkers, dealers would give them $4500 towards the purchase of a new car under the guise that they'd be fully refunded in 10 days from the government and the government would leave them hanging and either seriously delay payment, or not pay them at all?
If that was the original plan, then it was a smashing success.
