Reply #7: I'm not fond of inflating the demand for the sake of demand [View All]

[Beavker]

We need better, more fuel efficient cars. Build those (hybrid, ev), it's for the better of our country in many ways. But just creating incentive to buy the crap that is still out there to inflate the demand is a mistake. Drive by any car lot. There are dozens if not hundreds of cars sitting there doing nothing. Hoping for a buyer. This isn't Toilet paper on the shelf, or two liters of soda pop. These are multiple tens of thousands of dollars worth of product and natural resources that are being built for the 'hope' that it gets sold. Time to start building things that require that 99% of the population either needs to take a loan out on, or needs to save up over many years on a per order basis. Can't just build a million cars to find out that only half a million in demand exists. Fundamental shift.

Homebuilders. Don't build an entire community then try to sell the houses. Build them when someone actually wants them.

I guy just may have to wait a few weeks to get something nowadays.

Just a thought.
