And when you could trade your 14 mpg clunker for an 18 mpg SUV, it’s hard to see how we’re doing much to save the environment.
The fact that our leaders in Washington celebrate $1 billion in deficit spending on used cars as a huge policy success tells me all I need to know.

Unfortunately two prominent lawyers have challenged Proposition 8 in federal court in California, a case that could well end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Surely the lesson we learned from Roe v. Wade, which set off a culture war from which we have not yet recovered, is that social change is the role of the people and their elected representatives—not a handful of lawyers in black robes.
