I'm pissed. For decades,I have been constantly been bombarded with the old 'Why should I have to pay for bikelanes/sidewalks,etc" as if peds and cyclists somehow don't pay for the minimal facilities we do have.. and now they have given away in the period of a week as much money as they have put into bike facilities in 20 years, with more to come in the pipeline,because cash for clunkers was so successful!??
This is about the same as an alcoholic celebrating a year of sobriety by going out and getting trashed. Maybe not the bes analogy,but if we have issues with oil dependency, climate change, worn out roads, we should solve this by going and buying new cars? And this little gift to carmakers and their customers is added to the already over the top Federal defeceit. As if our military adventures in the past 50 years , maintaining empire and access to oil havent been enough?

Just getting this off my chest.. It won't stop till that last drop of oil.... Mad Max was so prophetic..
