Obama, auto industry favor single fuel standard
I can see why the automakers want one fuel economy standard, because it makes life easier on them. But the real reason they don’t want California (and those states that will follow suit) to be able to set their own standard is because it’s more stringent than the national standard. But hey, the automakers could always just engineer their fleet to meet the more stringent requirements. It’s about time anyway, as even China has more stringent standards than the U.S.A. does.
If the RNC weren’t in the pocket of Big Business and stuck to their guns, they’d be all for California having their own standards. I mean, it is a “States’ Rights” issue, isn’t it?

Who here is surprised? If so…really? You never put that together yourself? Really?!?!
I mean, the late, great Hunter S. Thompson knew early on what a piece of shit jackass George W. Bush was. While he despised Tricky Dick to the core, he would’ve taken Nixon over GWB any day of the week.
