Comments on: Senators make automaker CEOs look good http://www.allpar.com/weblogs/2008/12/04/senators-make-automaker-ceos-look-good/ Chrysler, car, and other discussions by Allpar contributors Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:08:57 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Mark http://www.allpar.com/weblogs/2008/12/04/senators-make-automaker-ceos-look-good/comment-page-1/#comment-77073 Mark Wed, 10 Dec 2008 03:42:28 +0000 http://www.allpar.com/weblogs/?p=589#comment-77073 The Federal Government itself needs an overhaul. Since they are so out of touch with mainstreet America, how can they possibily relate to the public at large. Only during election years do that get the slightest idea, of what is really going on. It would be interesting to see a poll of how many members of congress and the senate actually drive a car or truck, and if they do, how many of those are domestic? Chrysler's vehicles are copied in design and function, by so many other competitors, gee must be doing something right? Looks like those EV's do actually run, and could be built, question is will the public rush to dealer's to buy them? The facts are the standards demanded by government, are beyond the technology of the day. Perhaps the speaker of the house, and the Senate majority leader, should tour the facilities, look workers in the eye's, and actually drive an American Car, Truck, SUV. I believe Senator Reid, suggested ending production of P/U trucks, and focusing on smaller cars with better mileage. Does he know that Americans need to haul and tow? It's amazing to me that people with so much power and influence, really just don't have a clue, and they get to decide the fate of our Nation! The Federal Government itself needs an overhaul.

He got everything he wanted and now he's adding more demands. Personally, I find the idea of Bush's lackey being able to force companies into bankruptcy to be insane.

It's green, and it goes everywhere, even D.C. Flying coach would look pretty good to them if they tried a few long haul trips on the bus, say, from Los Angeles! We suffer from the same inflated ego's up here in Canada. I'd like to make them take dogsleds!LOL! Hey Rudy, what’s wrong with Greyhound? It’s green, and it goes everywhere, even D.C.
