Dear Editor,
With this latest budget battle Republicans have once again shown that they will miss no chance to do something rotten. This time they are targeting disaster aid and gas-saving cars at the same time. Disaster aid helps communities rebuild after tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. But – say the Republicans – we can’t just hand out money to these freeloaders, someone’s gotta pay for it. The Republicans need to find someone to kick so they go to the department of energy. And they want to cut funding for the development of cars that use less gas.
I cannot imagine a single American who is against developing cars that go further on a tank of gas. Whether you are Democrat, Republican or Tea Party we all want cars that burn less gas. What are these people thinking?
