Its a case of penny wise and pound foolish.

I think I am going to throw up. Can we please vote these fools responsible out of office already. Oh how I hate retarded logic. I hope the GOP get's demolished this November and I hope the Democrats pay attention and fix this mess that is our pathetic CAFE standards, EPA and CARB measurement rules, and lack of manufacturing incentives for 100mpg and higher cars.
