Default Re: Hybrid tax credits beginning to phase out

The "long Prius/Civic queue" arguement is not all that strong - there are other hybrids and we have discussed in depth about writers stressing the hybrid premium. Hybrid tax rebates should be increased to encourage Detroit to get in this market. It would also be a good idea for clean diesels.

Anyone notice that jumbo SUVs like the Escalade came out in the late 1990's when that big tax write off went into effect? Tax incentives work - just pick a different set of wheels! Yes, that was during the Clinton administration, environmental neglect is bi-partisan.
