Default Re: As Gas Costs Soar, Buyers Flock to Small Cars

Funny
Here's what I thought...

Not to expect a new government's spending/taxing/punishing policies to solve all our problems.
Hitting up the "nasty" corporations (BIG Oil, BIG Iron, etc.) won't solve all our problems either. They'll just leave - or likely find the ever-present loopholes as long as they can. Many already have essentially left, getting much of their product or labor from overseas, where costs are unfairly cheap. I'd like to see some of this change (I'm for FAIR trade, not FREE trade), or else the US worker does NOT have a fighting chance to compete. But if you go overboard, there are consequences.
