anyone else listen to NPR all day yesterday?

at one point, i swear i heard something about President 
Dumbfu^H^H^H^H^H^Dubya issuing tax credits to small and medium business 
owners who spend more than X amount of dollars (i think it was $75K, 
but...) ON A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS MORE THAN 6000 POUNDS GVW?!?!?!?   
(thats gross vehicle weight)

essentially, this 'law' would encourage more stupid americans to buy 
fscking sport utility vehicles!  and the "write-off" would be entirely 
in the first year of ownership, whereas it used to take years to 
depreciate such costs.

is anything improving?  or are we on a sure-fire coarse for hell?
