Can we please get a businessman back in there and start recovering from 4 years of slippage toward socialism?

Do you have someone in mind? Ross Perot like?

Not Ross Perot, but anybody who has done a few tours in the real world while or before they went into "public service." Oh, and anybody who realizes that it was the stupid social programs of the 1960s that have screwed up our young people for at least two generations and ushered in a planned dependency on government and a larger government to be dependent on.

As if he hasn't already completely phucked the economy...
So now, the offset in the additional cost of the vehicle will be made up in the fuel savings. It seems to me that the cost of the increased efficiency hasn't been determined yet, so this amount is unkown. The cost of fuel is constantly fluctuating (simple economics says supply vs. demand). Let's take for a moment that this is a GLOBAL market.
The US demand will decrease the global demand by nothing. All this will do is drive up the cost of every good and service sold in the US - further crippling the economy.
Many economist look at the housing/construction market as a good litmus test of the economy. This market can't exist without trucks...
I don't even have the time or patience to keep going with my thoughts on this phucking idea... and I really need to watch my phucking blood pressure...

Yeah... it was why I bought a "pre-peepee" Duramax GMC instead of a new one with incentives. They started ruining that truck in like 2010.

It goes way beyond the initial additional cost of the vehicle. Ask any owner operator who bought an early catalytic converter truck or early SCR truck what it was like paying the massive repair bills for techs to guess at the problems.
Nothing good will come from this.

That was exactly one of my first thoughts.
great.
lets force unproven technology (that as of yet doesn't exist) and force it down the throat of the American working industry to make it work by regulating it - and when they go belly-up because the technology doesn't support the economic well being of the country, the entire country can suffer.
thats what is wrong - forcing the public to figure out a way to make the gov'ts unproven agenda work in society.
