Obama's CAFE Fuel Economy Standards to Create Fleet of Tiny, Expensive Vehicles

Tell you what... I will meekly accept the new CAFE standards if President Obama will agree to load up his family, dog included, in a Honda Fit or a Toyota Prius and drive from Texarkana to El Paso in the middle of summer. I doubt they would make it.

Anybody who says the US is a free country is deluding himself. We have decided we would rather have Big Daddy in D.C. take care of us than solve our own problems and be responsible for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors.

It is high time that Oklahoma, Texas, and a few other states secede. Hey, we've got all the guns! What are they gonna do? Surround us with community organizers?

Oops, must not be so militant. Militancy is not becoming in a grandma.

Time to listen to the greatest tenor who ever lived and calm myself.

"Anybody who says the US is a free country is deluding himself."

Well, it's free if you fall under a certain income level.

"Hey, we've got all the guns!"

For now. They're working of rectifying that.

"Oops, must not be so militant. Militancy is not becoming in a grandma."

Actually, if you care about the future of said grandchildren, yes it is.

Gas mileage is more about the driver than the car anyway. My car gets 42mpg on a BAD day. 52 on a good day. But if I drive like a moron I get 36mpg, which is the EPA fuel economy rating for my car. So... when the EPA does the mileage testing, why can't they just hire good drivers?

@Darkness_Weaves - Good points, but even the people who think they are getting a free ride and weighed down by chains. Government never gives anything without strings attached.

@cordelia_naismith - Or, get old clunkers off the road. As usual, unintended consequences occur. When government mandates and taxes make new vehicles more expensive, people are more likely to hang onto their old clunkers, which pollute more. It's all part of "We're from the government, and we're here to help."
