Why doesn't anyone else notice that this is too little too late by an administration that has no real interest in doing anything of real benefit and by a Congress that is totally ignorant of the clearest mandate in U.S. history that they were given?
35 miles per gallon 12 years from now when Europe is already at 35 is a joke.
War for oil, lie by calling it terrorism, waste more American lives than were ever lost on 9/11 in the first place, and kill over 100,000 Iraqis.
Sounds like a wonderful policy, no?
And, oh yes, you are somehow helping the enemy by being an American and disagreeing with the Executive branch.
A productive approach would be to require 35 miles per gallon by 2010 and charge the car manufacturers for every unit sold that does not meet the 35 mpg average starting now and continuing until the overall average is reached.
But that would take the money out of Bush's oil buddies pockets and eliminate the raping of our children's future that's currently being done only for Halliburton's benefit in Iraq.
As some insightful commentators used to say, "And so it goes.".
How many days until Bush is finally out? It's too bad that impeachment and imprisonment for war crimes will never happen either.
