Horrible socialism somehow good for capitalist business; more Fords on the way

Workers at the local Ford production plant will have more to do thanks to

​the Cash for Clunkers program. Turns out that with so many people trading in their shitboxes, the demand for production of the Ford Escape and Ford Focus has exploded, meaning Ford will produce about 33 percent more vehicles in this year's fourth quarter than in the same quarter last year.

And those Escapes are getting put together in Kansas City. I'm no economist, but I'm guessing more demand for workers means better job security in a company that didn't have a terribly bright outlook not too long ago.

Peter, I think you might have misunderstood the capitalist ideals. They mean social is bad for the poor, great for the rich. :)

I think the cash for clunkers is a good way to make sure real people got a stimulus and to help revive the American Auto Market. I wish they would have insisted that the cars being bought were built by Union workers or at least by shops that paid prevailing wage.
