I'm sure you find this hilarious.
Along with everything else, the right has a shit sense of humor.

Didn't cash for clunkers work?

How could it?
C4C was an Obama administration idea, therefore not only suspect but automatically assumed to have failed.

Well, in hindsight, wouldn't you agree that C4C sort of missed its target? I'm sure Toyota was very happy with it though.

"Missed it's target" in the sense that people didn't flock to GM products to replace their SUVs?

Yes. Instead, american tax dollars was spent on bolstering the sales of japanese brands. Also, I'm not totally convinced about the environmental benefits in scrapping functioning vehicles and replacing them with new ones just for the sake of a few more mpg.

Don't they manufacture most of the US market cars in the USA even if the company is Japanese?
Wasn't the idea to save American jobs? And if the American jobs are supplied by foreign companies isn't that still in our interests?

C4C was a multipronged program, aimed at reducing the number of inefficient cars, stimulating the economy and (hopefully) increasing the business of American carmakers.
It's not Obama's fault that many people refused to buy the inferior American products and opted for a (titular) Japanese car instead.
Kevin doesn't like it because it didn't reduce the tax "burden" on the wealthy which is the only strategy the right finds worthwhile.
