Title 19 United States Code §1304 and Title 19 US Code of Federal Regulations §134 require that:

“every article of foreign origin (or its container) imported into the United States shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article (or container) will permit, in such manner as to indicate to an ultimate purchaser in the United States the English name of the country of origin of the article, at the time of importation into the Customs territory of the United States. “

God Bless you all. Have a great Easter!

Cash for clunkers was a GM Bailout. Probably got rid of a lot of evidence of negligence as well.

cash for clunkers was a fools program, it had zero impact on the auto industry or the individual who participated in the program. It was simply an inexpensive gimmick used by the government to sway voters leaning.

It’s been just over two years since the federal government’s $3 billion Car Allowance Rebate System — better known as Cash for Clunkers — took 677,081 used cars off the road, spurring an equal number of new-car sales in a recession-battered economy. Vince Powell says he can still feel its effects. Powell owns Powell Motors, an independent used-car dealership across the Willamette River from downtown Portland, Ore.

"Obviously a lot of them were junk and deserved to be called clunkers," says Powell, who owns the store his father began in 1933. But a sizable chunk — Ford Explorers and other four-wheel-drivers — were "decent cars," he says. "I think we’re paying for it now. Prices for used cars are up, and the cheaper stuff was higher now than it was before."

In the program’s aftermath, slashed supplies drove used-car prices up.

inventory of used cars is down because fewer people are buying new cars keeping the ones they have longer and the export of used cars is up. Lower inventory means higher prices.

I think GM either got rid of some recall deathtrap machines or they got a tax break..maybe both.

That analysis makes no sense at all. The amount of credit a person could get for their clunker is not near enough to purchase a car of lesser value. If the government spent $3 billion on clunkers and the auto industry only sold $3 billion in cars for the same period that tells you absolutely nothing in terms of the value of the program. Many people may have just took advantage of the program without purchasing another car. The auto industry sold $3 billion in cars how much would they have sold if there was no clunker rebate?
