>I think you are spending more time figuring out how to poke holes than figuring out how to make it work and therein lies the problem with America. We're all fat and lazy and don't want to solve problems. We'd prefer to argue. Too bad. Bingo! Doing it his way is more important than doing it the best way!

If your talking about a multi-trillion dollar government program you should properly spend A LOT of time trying to poke holes in it. If it were me, I would take the shit out of gasoline, just like they do in Europe. That makes more sense to me as well. Not that I actually endorse a large gas tax increase, but I'd prefer it to a massive plan to subsidize new cars. At least your just increasing the cost of gasoline and letting the market decide how to respond to the increase, rather than picking a winner and subsidizing or mandating it.
