'Clunker' Bill Passes House

摘要

"Cash for Clunkers" legislation passed the full US House of Representatives Tuesday allowing vehicle owners to trade in lower-mileage cars for higher-mileage new cars and trucks and receive vouchers worth up to $4,500. The legislation, which has strong Senate support, passed 298-119 and will fund 1 million new car and truck purchases for a stricken US auto industry now laying off thousands of factory workers, salesmen and mechanics.
