That whole thing was a scam. I looked up my '85 F150 on the web site, and it didn't qualify because the fuel mileage figure on it was 21 mpg. Anybody who has ever owned one of those knows that that truck never would get above 13 mpg on its best day. How many other vehicles were listed with stupidly wrong figures like that? (BTW - I never would have traded it in - I looked it up out of curiosity - plus I think the whole program was immoral.) -- Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x')

Want more government regulations? You have not seen anything yet, wait till the government totally takes over our health care in 2014. It has already begun! The Government that CURRENTLY regulates trans-fats is trying to tax the "sugary" drinks that are killing our children. Next will come smoking regulations. One local major employer announced today they will test all new workers for nicotine, if you have it in your system they will not give you a job because it will further increase their health care costs under the new bill. Three major US manufactures are telling us their health care cost will go up by millions of dollars a year, which will lead to higher prices for their products. What next will they not employ any new employees who are overweight? The federal government will start controlling what we eat for the same reasons. Can government control of the use of alcohol be far behind? Not only will the government be telling you what you can eat, wait to you see what happens to your privilege to DRIVE when they start to restrict driving, or what you can drive to reduce the number injured on killed on our highways. I suspect we will see a new "1984" book written called "2084," total government control of the lives of all those still alive at the time.
