Despite the heavy handed censorship the good news just continues to come. The President is implementing even strong transportation rules forcing the troglodytes of this country to adopt better commuting practices.
Quote:
President Barack Obama's proposed new fuel and emission standards for cars and trucks will save billions of barrels of oil but are expected to cost consumers an extra $1,300 per vehicle by the time the plan is complete in 2016.
Obama on Tuesday planned to announce the first-ever national emissions limits for vehicles, as well as require a 35.5 miles per gallon fuel efficiency standard.
Carol Browner, the White House energy and climate director, publicly confirmed the new initiative in appearances on morning network news shows, calling it a "truly historic" occasion and saying that such tougher environmental standards have been "long overdue."
The plan also would effectively end a feud between automakers and statehouses over emission standards -- with the states coming out on top but the automakers getting the single national standard they've been seeking and more time to make the changes.

A little presidential leadership goes a long way.
Well, I guess I will be running untaxed dyed diesel in my P/U truck. See, my "commute", when I have to is 90 miles to the nearest town. Your hero in the WH just seems to think everybody likes living jammed together.
And I guess I will have to fire up my bio-diesel still again. Untaxed fuel, gotta love it.

Agreed. Put a Yuppy in the White House and look what happens to the people in Rural Areas. The unemployed can get every possible benefit possible, but they just voted down a milk incentive for Dairy Farmers...a type of farmer that works 18+ hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year kicking milk out on the national food chain. Lets kick them in the teeth and give the lame and the lazy every government dime we can.

Criminals find way to break the law every day. That what you've just confessed to a crime.
Maybe agriculture should start operating on a market system just like us wage earners? The Red states are a sink of government subsidies with the Gasahol projects leading the pack.
Since two of the three US car companies are on the hook for government money, they have little choice but to agree to new standards. The Japanese companies make fairly efficient cars, and have always been on this path. The European brands don't sell that many vehicles in the US comparatively speaking.

This is a criminal act "Well, I guess I will be running untaxed dyed diesel in my P/U truck"

When Agricultural stops being forced to buy everything at retail prices and must sell it at wholesale prices, then we will be just fine.
We would love to sell our product at free-market prices rather than at the federally regulated prices of today...
Of course 99% of the population could not afford that and would starve.
Al Gore once publicly said that he wanted to see agricultural land be converted into surburbia because the tax base on that land is so much higher per acre then that of agricultural land. He concluded that there were other areas of the world that could easily meet our food needs and our agricultural land could be put to better use (higher taxes).
I think we have all seen what our dependence on foreign oil has done. I shutter to think what would happen if we followed this obviously brilliant man's concept of a USA dependent on foreign food!
