uh... ways to do is increase the the fuel efficiency standards are for cars
in america
uh... to an average of thirty five point five miles per gallon within six years
okay
now still reserved numbers you might not be familiar with but let me just tell
you with the results are
first of all the bad news is that going to raise the price of cars
and a very up front about and they just say read off the bat look uh...
by twenty twelve
at each vehicle will have a ballot afford in thirty four dollars
more will cost the reported to
that's very significant and then allowed by twenty sixteen
uh... though cost nineteen forty six dollars
so you're saying alright where's a good straight well there is at the reason is
uh... a pat
over the life expectancy event coverage vehicle because of the better gas
mileage they're gonna get
you're gonna save
thousand dollars
see this is short term pain
for long-term gain and it's very smart
it helps environment it helps uh... you know uh... our pocketbooks a long-run
now you can heal a little bit of political courage to be able to take a
short term pain
so that really nicely done it yet
i agreed to be one of the issues that they haven't really explored especially
at the start of time of that you know financial uncertainty is
what you're asking for by virtue that the reason the prices of cars is here
asking lending institutions to do car loans and the the the financial arms of
the of the automakers to lend more money uh... so it it does create more debt at
a time when we are trying to reduce debt across the board or to have responsible
that
uh... i understand i think it's a fantastic uh... step in the right
direction these these fuel efficiency standards were at one time we're not
going to change until twenty thirty then work brought back to it it was a twenty
twenty-two or something but i i don't know but they've they've exhilarated to
use and although con
um... that uh... that change and i think it's great and i think it's a step in
the right direction and
you know i'll
there's all they're all rawls reasons in these cases to be somewhat suspicious
because of
uh... the fact that why can the president
just sort of control
the the price of cars and the price of of gasoline and it's not as simple as
that but i heard somebody talking about on the radio today actually is all what
we know why is why is it why can't they change that now if he can do it one
brought sweet but it's not it's it's what you just told me which is the
consumption is going to go down to the mound of money spent on the skin
so let this up briefly about winners eliza straight so it's this is not
pain-free as we told you and it's not that there are no losers have michael
mentioned one other lenders have to give up more money
uh... the other people that are losers are the dealerships because they like
looked you know however much anne
uh... joe down the street saves on gas inline in the next ten years is
irrelevant to me
you're makin the price of cars higher
which makes a harder to sell and so that hurts dealerships
so their dared not happy about started people of course were not happy about
this are well cos
were like okay so that rich guy uh...
sat actually was up
in saving a lot of money but why does he said the money because he's buying less
gas
so of course we all do but there are about moral not happy about it
so there is that was a political courage in taking out all those guys including
oil companies
supports our very significant lobbying et cetera and
but i've also lower the amount of money they're gonna be spending on health care
field with a
dealership in if you own the unoiled company so
i mean i at the at the end of the day these are necessary expenses for most of
america if you have a car you have to buy gas port and if you live in a place
where you need a car you need a car
uh... it's not quite as simple as that but i i think that a lot of these are
uh... denied using scare tactics but there are alarmist on the part of the
auto companies and and and the car dealerships and whatever unions uh...
arena whatever bachera professional unions they have not labor unions at so
i think that the people uh... are probably just going to take a breath to
look at this and of course like anything there's gonna be somebody who's opposed
to it and and this case will be a lot of people lot of uh...
powerful people
uh... i also want to get to and other great
pieces you know whatever also i would be good good story but i'll find a
depressing angle but they don't like
but you didn't see this in the devil's in the details
well i think that's a good things the details here
aliya dennis eckart first-year should we be uh...
actually this outrage enterprise cars going up
first five hundred about
than about two thousand dollars about yeah um... over
several years of
years
in nineteen fifty five car for two thousand dollars
then as a bsc med admission have all this crazy stuff you put more things
than cars that cost more everything goes dot the press cardinal by would madhe
canopy
eighty thousand dollars for car and victimized head and explore when cars
weren't actually pretty big in the fifties and then
people buying so when you put on a car you got a fortnightly navigation you'll
have to have it
with jeff that certain times it is certainly
that's what happened and uh... you know i'm really glad to accidentally hit
historical perspective here's enormously important
though automakers historically have school your when ever you ask them to do
anything that made sense
like when ralph nader among others argued we should put seat belts in cars
neglect awfully tough
alaska costs or bonds as well as the price of cars analytic it'd a little
picked
pain or us a bit he said
probably by this time maybe millions of lives yeah
about uh... it did and that the other in the others part of what they are so i
think that it's is that you know things do go up in price and there is that that
is what happens
if the price of a card is also in the grocery bill item as we all know the
price of gas is non-negotiable item you can cause i writing three thirty five a
gallon
by the district and that's my final offer you walk away intellectual
collective burkhart it's a little bit different so there is any when you're
talking about hundreds in the hundreds of dollars here there's a little play
i'm sure in those numbers
uh... but but it's really true i mean that the price of things go up because
they are better and they are safer and they have more gadgets and you've course
can customize them in certain cases i thought it looked to more things of this
is important out one is that was in details very good details on this
uh... of armies he deviated this now remember before i was saying why don't
you just use the powers that you have
why don't you use the e_p_a_ to do the regulation of the supreme court the
supreme court right wing supreme court said they could do
right what do you wait not if you really want to get it done to do it right
and in this case
he did it
any use the yet and perfectly within his rights
and i had to say i don't even hear the republican squinting up enough that
they're not any better because of the fact that their palms were softened
yesterday bite by what he did yesterday happiness electable i'd america has to
play into it a little bit ameen
you'll be so tall with that their two different issues they're not because
they're tied together in in
in one way but at least it's it's because of a bit interaction at the
citadel also commit democratic section
so if you give them ninety percent of what they want and then the next day so
i don't think i could get back to let you know i tak tau its
at least tracker right
setup because he also that that they're you know in an election year would
probably over think that runs an election year
but to go back and say that you're supporting consider bringing to bring
down the price of fuel as much sexier in in an election year i hear you but
here's my if for some let partly because one i think that we're going to see more
of it
as the car prices go up and in the report republicans were on the attack
okay
physically short-term bowl radio committed i can tell you for some of the
astronauts as
your gas bills going down an endeavor to the car companies are in favor of it
which is totally reversal what historically has been the case because
the car companies or an authorized government right exactly and so and four
days and but they're on board and and of course japanese car companies are owned
by the united states government but they're all everybody's on board
so that kind of pics away
the ability of the republicans that all your credit card companies dot
all you know at your cost jobs et cetera dipali rally to that
behind a deal with the car dealerships right
but uh... it's it's hard because what are they going to say that because i
heard the most of the oil companies agreed upon the come at me like off
might cut your own oil companies because
america's love affair let's forget
today hectic
though that senate that's a really tough are you going to be two opposed to make
that are you
