What the Feds SHOULD do is take the exhaust emission levels from the 2010 automobiles and trucks, and decree that in 2020, the exhaust emissions levels will be cut by at least 10%. And by 2030, cut another 10%.

I think that the emission levels of all the current crop of autos and trucks are hundreds of times cleaner that 10-20 years ago.

The states should NOT be able to set their own emission levels in new cars and trucks. Instead, some sort of tax break should be given to people who turn in "gross polluters" and buy new (or newer) vehicles with better mileage AND lower emission levels.

This would be a better use of taxpayer-funds for bailouts.

We don't want a bigger government; We want a government that does a few BIG things, and does them right.

If you think that you can cut it, if you think you got the time, they'll only give you one chance, better get it right first time. 'Cause in this game you're playin, if you lose you got to pay. And if you make just ONE wrong move, you'll get BLOWN AWAY!
