It's happening all over. A couple of months ago, our local high school had a homecoming pep rally where they had the football players beat up on an old bus. They give the football players a sledge hammer and some spray paint and they really demolished it. The next day I saw the bus being driven to a salvage area and it sounded really good. Curiosity getting the best of me, I went to look at it during my noon hour. I flipped the hood and it had a 7.3 Ford diesel under it, no oil leaks or anything. So I asked a coworker (who still has kids in high school) for some info on this bus. Turns out the bus no longer meets modern day emissions, so the government is paying the local school district $25,000 towards the purchase of a new bus. The requirements for getting this money is that this 7.3 engine must be destroyed, along with the (now beat up) bus that goes with it. Now this is a perfectly good 7.3 diesel engine and has lots of hours left in it. As a taxpayer, does this make sense to anybody? I'm sure there's a few people on this group who would disagree with me, but my opinion is that the $25K could be better spent.
