Politicians here are far too gutless to do it, however.

It's actually surprising there is any domestic auto industry left after the implementation of cafe. You are right also about the gutlessness of politicians. If people do actually get the politicians they deserve, that really does not say much for the citizenry of the US of A.

And, if we ever do get a politician who's honestly trying to do what's good for everyone, half the country will hate his guts for it.

I've always thought that. But, this is America. And the debate would get killed the instant the Republicans hear "....$2/gallon tax.....". After that, you might as well just fart through your pie-hole, cuz it'll get the same reaction. They won't hear another word of your argument.

And for all Mr Fords.... Foibles, he is actually a very fiscally responsible mayor.

Btw, he is a good old, right wing, conservative. His base would make the Republicans proud.
