GREED
Ah, here we go again. The W, you know him.... the guy who said "I like to think I'm a good steward of the environment." Good steward doesn't mean much, but then again we've all gotten used to the double speak from this asshole, no child left behind means leaving children behind, compassionate conservative means, death penalty and hungry children, hell even the concept of conservative doesn't apply to this guy especially when you're talking about the environment or fuel efficiency.
A small example, next year, the administration will phase out the $2,000 tax credit for buying a hybrid vehicle, which gets over 50 miles per gallon, but will leave in place the $25,000 tax write-off for a Hummer, which gets 10-12 mpg. Why would a "good steward of the environment" do such a thing?
I really couldn't even begin to answer that question. Anyways, in other news..... ExxonMobil just reported the highest quarterly profit ever, $8.42 billion, by an American company.
