Like, how many fucking cars ARE there???

Just by looking at adverstising, I can tell that cars are over-produced. Here in my little region of a 100,000 people or so there's pages and pages and pages of ads for cars in the paper, both new and used.

Nationally, I would say car commercials are the most common type. Every few minutes there's a car commercial on. A really stupid one, by the way, selling you everything but a CAR.

Since there are clearly more cars than car buyers, you'd think the price would go down, but instead it constantly goes up. Of course, we know that "free enterprise" and/or the "market economy" is a myth in the U.S., especially as oil prices fall and gas prices climb, but you'd think the prices of cars would go down a little—you know, just to maintain appearances that this is a capitalist country…

It's so bizarre to me that people go into debt, for years at a time, just for a car. The fact that they have been convinced that this is how you get a car is what actually sets the price, not the "supply and demand" myth.

I wonder what happens to the millions of cars that don't sell?
