He's driving this country into the ground with his ideas! He needs to go back to organizing volunteers and leave our country's infrastructure alone! Does he not realized it's worked so far? Why is he trying to re-invent the wheel all the time? It sometimes feels like he's quietly trying to change our country into a socialistic state, and his followers are asleep at the wheel, mesmerized by his white line fever. I refuse to drink the Kool aid.

more than a few have opined that Obama is trying to crash the Republic, so the socialists can point and say;
'see it doesn't work, people are too selfish or stupid to make the correct choices, the government needs to control more, then it will work, better'

My diesel mechanic explained to me that the gov't regulations imposed to regulate emmissions have had a direct impact on fuel mileage. Imposing even more restrictions on emmissions will result in even lower fuel mileage.

Yeah... he laughed out loud when I told him that....It's ok...they are also imposing higher fuel economy.
He said impossible gov't mandates are why Caterpillar made huge changes in the way they do business....Green Car Congress: Caterpillar Exiting On-Road Engine Business; Entering Strategic Alliance with Navistar
I can't even imagine what the newest round of mandates will do to the industry.

From one IN the trucking industry... we pay enough taxes just to keep our trucks on the road to more than cover the impact. No one outside the industry has a clue how much it costs just to keep up with the Highway Use tax, IFTA taxes and quarterly reports, tags renewals which are HUUUUGGGGEEEE compared to those in automobiles. There is so much regulation in the industry, to add more requirements will run many out of business, including us. I'd like to see what will happen to the economy when trucking is no more!
