EPA & DOT PLAN "CAFE" ATTACK ON THE ENGINES THAT POWER AMERICAN BUSINESS

By Cammie
The American economy is a disaster. Millions of Americans want more jobs and fewer Federal government intrusions. Regulations and red tape are choking American innovation. The EPA and DOT have already hammered the auto manufacturing sector with billions upon billions of unfunded mandates.

So what do the absolutely clueless Obama bureaucrats do now?

They want to drop a harsh round of Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards on the hardest working vehicles in our economy. The Obamamaniacs want to jack up prices on everything to make another sacrifice at the altar of "global warming" by establishing a first-ever CAFE standard on big trucks, buses and work vehicles.

This is absolutely the wrong move to make at a time when transportation industries are struggling and demand for heavy trucks, buses and work vehicles lags. It's a hidden regulatory tax on all of us.

Perhaps no sector of transportation is more market-based than medium and heavy trucks. If the market demands radical and expensive fuel-saving technologies, they will be produced to satisfy "bottom-line-sensitive" customers without any Federal intervention.

But the Obama whiz-kids seemingly hate market-based approaches to anything. Instead, they want extract ever more costs from what's left of American industry. They want to gamble with our economy in order to serve leftist canards like "climate change" (the new name for "global warming" considering that no warming has taken place for a decade).

CAFE is a failed approach. So it's not surprising that a pack of failures such as Obama's bureaucrats want to expand the failure to our most esssential transportation sector.

What a mess!

Remember to vote against the liberal Obama/Pelosi/Reid Democrat powermongers and their henchpersons (any Democrat and even some RINO Republicans ) in Congress on November 2!(see sidebar list of the free-spending, big government liberals who voted for "Cash for Clunkers" and vote against each and every one of them)
