• On February 20, 2009, by Anonymous - This is completely unconscionable in today's economy. Have to agree that it looks & smells like still more 'help' to Detroit. Haven't they gotten enough? No, make the little guy who's worried about his job or already laid off & struggling buy a new car OR pay $200/year tax because he can't afford to buy a new car? Who dreams these ideas up? What is Congress thinking? Are they thinking at all? These cars that they're worried about will eventually just go away as all others have. But both 'forcing' or 'taxing' them now--bad timing, very bad timing.

• On June 03, 2009, by katherinewatterson - This is rediculous, there are no less than 4 bills out here that are basically the same, HR520, HR1606, HR1550 and S247. I oppose all 4 of them on the same principle. The constitution does not give congress the authority to do this. We need to replace every walking brain dead person on the hill. This is not a good use of my taxpayer dollars.
