That's an interesting article about Cash for Clunkers, an initiative where the gov'mint buys your old, polluting car (if you're poor enough) and scraps it, thus reducing car emissions, stimulating the economy, and making a small transfer of wealth to the economically disadvantaged.
Not a hundred percent sure how I feel about it, but there it is.
About Me
- Miwome
- I've kept an online journal for years, but in the past year or so as my academic and independent studies have taken off my journal was overrun with thoughts and links on politics, the Middle East, social justice, et. al. I finally gave in to the inevitable and created a separate blog--this one--for my thoughts on such matters; we'll see what happens. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with a B.A. in International Studies, geographic focus on the Middle East (and, more peripherally, North Africa and Central Asia). I'm from Boston, I like to travel, and I enthusiastically sang in and co-ran the University of Chicago Voices In Your Head. I'm hoping to move back to the Middle East within the next year to further the practical side of my education (and have a good time).
