They bank on the fact that most people forget.
Let me enlighten many, we have not forgotten about this mess and the cost to the American tax-payer.

Cost aside, this scam removed many second-hand automobiles from the market place. Those would have been many of the same cars bought by the average middle American or a first time car buyer.
