WASHINGTON, DC– The following is a statement from Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) regarding the federal “Cash for Clunkers” program:
“Earlier this summer, I introduced a similar vehicle trade-in program with the proviso that it be funded out of the national stimulus package. In my view, the ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program is moving product, keeping people working, and giving people commissions—it’s an obvious stimulus plan. I support the extension of the program.”
