Bottom line: it not the government, it's the American citizenry who is
to blame, by its economic behavior in the showroom and the road, and
by
the government whose actions it continues to support at election time.

Exactly. That's why the government needs to increase CAFE mileage
standards and other measures, such increasing the gasoline tax. But they
lack the political cojones to do so.

Without intervention, we'll blissfully keep driving our ridiculous
SUV's. Using the marketplace for public policy ain't gonna work.
