Does anyone see anything a little wrong in this picture?

1. The federal government, using our money, takes a 60% stake in GM, one of the world's largest auto companies.
2. Then, the federal government, using our money, pays buyers up to $4500 to destroy their used car (removing it from the market and driving up the prices for used cars) provided the buyer replaces the destroyed car with a new car.  Possibly a GM model.

Am I the only one?
