I could justify doing my part with a $7500 tax credit on one of these little EVs
 

 
Got to talk to my tax man before the end of the year.

Arnold S------------- (the token republican, but really reluctant demo) was given the job (by the demo dominated legislature) to go begging for 45 BILLION DOLLARS !!! Overspending is getting its just reward !? For sure our more narrow topic (hated autos) is exponentially dwarfed.

Does anybody swag, the (demo) votes are there to delay the (35 mpg) 2012 fuel economy standards?
 
(aka let the 27 mpg standards, defacto 22 mpgcontinue/ REMAIN!?)

And your point is ? Your thesis is busted since it never had any economic validity,Your points are extreme and explain a viewpoint that tested is irrational. As compassionate person I forgive you, yet you and nippon will not lie low. Car manufactuers are sufferering greatly. Pseudo greenism kudos because you drive a fuel efficient vehicle is out of touch, get with the program. What gives? Said in my most kindly Ronald McDonald happy meal voice. As per Tiny Tim , God Bless us one and all. The green and the red shall suffer equally in their marginal propensity to consume but you two aren't posturing are you ? Inquiring minds and all that.
Suffering dealerships struggle to sell inventory.

The above is old news but another indicator, why they will probably keep the old standards.

Et Tu Duke23, what is YOUR point? That was a ramble and a vicious attack which I think is not warranted.
 
Methinks only people who do something wrong are owed forgiveness, and I can't see that I've done anything wrong.

I think what he was saying is your denunciation of consumerism is more harmful than any kind of Global Warming will be.

I don't know that I have "denunciated" consumerism. Ever.
 
I do denunciate WASTE and I always will.
 
And so should all of us.

What you consider waste is not always the same as everyone else. I consider turning on the air before the house gets to 85 degrees as waste. Others may think it is too hot at 79 degrees. You consider driving a luxury car that gets under 20 MPG as waste, while many other people do not. So your denunciation of waste is in my opinion a denunciation of consumerism. We disagree on who should make the rules. I think each individual, while you believe the government.

Gary says, "We disagree on who should make the rules. I think each individual, while you believe the government."
 
If that works, why do we have laws against murder?
And laws against not wearing your seatbelt and speeding?
 
People can for the most part do well in controlling their own lives.
 
But guvmint, in SOME cases, DOES need to step in. Imagine no police force.
