I work as a mechanic for a big government fleet(ranked #3 in the US). We are scheduled to replace 2,800 light trucks in 2009. Government fleets pay cash in full using tax payer money! Are we going to replace the Ford, Chevrolet, and dodge trucks with Toyota Tacoma’s using tax payer money. This just doesn’t seem right.

Even If these trucks are made in the US the profits are pumped back into the Asian economy. Would the US tax payer like to directly fund the Asian economy?

If this bill passes tho you can bet that the new car 0% financing will go bye-bye, and the banks will get the loans for whatever points over prime;) U gotta love politics.

Erica…? C’mon Betty did you a favor, this sites link factor is golden, say thanks first, then slap next time.

And on another, less irritated note, this did get first spot on a google search for “mikulski auto ownership tax assistance amendment.” Beating out the senators site, the baltimore sun and various other postings about the amendment.
