There was the guy who wrote the letter to the editor in the paper tonight, stating that Congress simply must lower fuel prices, citing a giant conspiracy of oil companies and whoever to stage the Iraq imbroglio to (somehow) provide a pretext for higher fuel prices. At least this guy is obviously qualified for a tinfoil hat and a set of those special night-vision binoculars for spotting black helicopters. No problem; he's a loony, he's been quite honest in laying that out for us, and as far as I'm concerned he's got a right to his opinion....and his rubber room.
But how far removed from him are Big Automotive's 3 CEOs, who together with the UAW make special pleas to further postpone increases in the CAFE standards for motor vehicles? Take away the blatantly crazy rationales of the guy in the previous paragraph......not so much. Who really believes this kind of stalling can help, as the inevitable looms ever closer? Evidently they can, but who can believe that it's anything but their bottom line talking?
