Now, President Bush did provide us consumers with a $600 stimulus check (economists didn't think it was very effective, but hey, I'm not going to argue with $600 extra dollars in my bank account). But you make the most down-to-earth point I've heard about all these incentive programs so far, if you happen to need a new appliance (or car, whatever it may be), great, if not, oh well, don't go out of your way and stretch your budget if you don't. Great point, thanks for commenting, Tim Linda,

If you don't need a new car or appliance, don't get one. If you do, take advantage of an offer that you would never have received under Mr. Bush. Just speaking my mind.

For a while now certain states have conducted their own rebate/trade-in appliance program. I'm thinking demand will be steady without extraordinary spikes in demand. Appliances breakdown and need replacing. The program will certainly help those ready to replace broken machines, but, like Cash for Clunkers, I'm sure it will lead a given audience into the appliance stores before they would have otherwise been ready. Great hearing from you, thanks, Tim Lucia,

I don't know if the president is looking at this as a "solution," but, you're right -- it's not the answer to our problems. I believe it's just another nudge to get the healthy consumers (and there are some out there) to spend (on energy-efficient products nonetheless). Thanks, Tim William,

As an appraiser, I've noticed that it's been the rare homeowner that didn't upgrade their appliances within the past 5 years, so I wonder if demand wouldn't be more tepid than with the vehicle rebates.
