Thanks, and not to sound callous, but I don’t wanna know.

I do know that there is going to be the equivalent of the 16ton weight that used to drop down on Monty Python characters and that is pretty much enough.

WaxmanMarkey - They’ll do to us what Jason&Freddy do to teenagers. The scope and bailiwick of the committee is immense, literally every aspect of an American’s existence comes under their purview.

And also, in terms of the auto thingie, if you set a national emission standard aka the draconian Californian one imposed on the entire country, then at least do away with the boutique blends of gasoline that rampant state governments have required.

But betcha they don’t.
