Why does the government have to do it? This is like the love affair with
term limits, something that is entirely within our capabilities but we want
someone else to do it. If we as consumers demanded and bought such cars,
they would be built. Maybe we should buy the little Honda Fit rather than
the huge SUV. My neighbor has two kids but I usually see only her in the
Suburban. In many things the government has to remove the greed component
such as in health care but in many other things we have the hands on the
controls and wallets.
