OK guys.......we ALL fish here, and I suspect most have a boat, and haul that boat all over the dang place.

With the new CAFE standards coming out, our ability to tow will be significantly diminished, if it exists at ALL. I brought this up once before, and it got no play.....was batted down as "it will never happen". Well you know what. It IS HAPPENING.

The Obomunist Administration passed new CAFE standards that will double fuel economy by 2016. All vehicles will fall into the new standard.

The King Obomunist stated that a NEW CAFE standard vehicle would recoup the extra costs in 3 years.......those extra costs being at or about $2800 bucks per vehicle. Maybe, Maybe NOT.

What about all the hidden costs.......

* what about higher insurance rates for those smaller vehicles. THEY already exist, and the experience of those cars show HIGHER PREMIUMS.

* what about higher INJURY RATES due to these smaller cars. WE already know you get hurt and KILLED more often in smaller cars.

* what about HIGHER FUEL COSTS........yes HIGHER. If your new CAFE standard car gets DOUBLE the mileage.....you're paying 1/2 the Motor Fuel Taxes you used to.......SO, TAXES will be RAISED.......GUARANTEED.

* what about the SURCHARGE we will all pay for driving a gas guzzler. WE ALREADY paid that charge by BUYING the VEHICLE. The administration is proposing a yearly "TAX" on vehicles that don't meet the CAFE standard.

Yes.......My friends........

Welcome to Obomunism...........It's not your daddie's socialism.

Later,
