When the gas prices head up again, these same people will be screaming for a bail out, including elimination of the gas tax. Meanwhile, they are having a cornucopiagasm. Notice the Georgians' gas taxes are going down in a time of low gas prices. What boneheads. No doubt they will be getting money from the Fed to repair/build those roads that can't be done with their low gas taxes.

So much for the ridiculous theory that we have seen a permanent change in Americans' taste for the kinds of autos they buy.

It's hopeless. Screw it. I am now firmly in the doomer camp for 2009. So much for my resolve to give Obama a chance. Until I see specific policies proposed and passed to stop this nonsense, it's doomer time all the way.

Happy Freaking Doomer New Year!!!

That's a good point. It triggers a great idea: receipt of stimulus money for road infrastructure should be contingent on setting a minimum state gasoline tax.
