    20% is about what they figured was shifted from the 4th quarter to the 3rd so it as a zeo sum gain that cost us a lot of money that we didn’t have to begin with.

    They figure the “boost” cost us 24K per car (more then most cars thenselves) and fourth quater sales will most likely be down.

    Barry/the dems don’t have a clue .

    Another unintended consequence is that they took a lot of vehicles off the road that the poor could have used/afforded.

    There was no real upside to it.
