The new GM president appointed by the Obama and UAW packed board last week began begging for a huge gasoline tax to force consumers to consider trading in their big, comfortable cars and trucks for the eco-clown cars GM is now tooling up to build under Obama mandates. Good luck!

Which I don't get. If I have my 20 MPG car paid off, why would I want to trade it in for a $400 or %500+ monthly payment + gas just to get a few MPGs? That's nuts. My next new car will be when my current one can't be economically repaied or in the junk yard.

When you drive a limo and fly on a private jet, I guess things like that get lost on you. (Royal "you" not you "you".)

“My next new car will be when my current one can’t be economically repaied or in the junk yard.”

Bingo! That’s why if Obummer is reelected a huge increase in gas taxes/prices is coming...
