And the 25% who still think he's doing a good job. Not too hard to figure out who's buying SUVs. Remember all those people who voted for Bush twice? And the 25% who still think he’s doing a good job.

We don't think about how gas prices may rise again, the impact of no money down interest only loans, or what the impact of the national debt will be in 20 years. This shows why an increase in the gas tax is needed for the long term energy needs of the country.

The only SUV I might even possibly consider would be Ford's Escape Hybrid. But that probably won't be fitting in my budget. I think I'll be buying a standard Ford Fusion as much as I'd really prefer to get the hybrid version of that vehicle. No gas guzzlers being bought in this household. What, they think that gas prices will stay at this level once the recovery comes along in 5 to 10 years? Actually the most frightening forecast I've seen is that it will end in two years...in a jobless recovery. I’m probably going to be buying a car in a few months.
