Looks like the market is speaking loud and clear, well maybe just loud.

Apparantly all those folks Hastert's trying to protect aren't having to make hard choices after all. One in four cars sold in the first quarter had V8 engines, the same as it was last year. This news comes as gas price "conerns" are high enough to warrant special taxes and commissions. Granted it may be early in the cycle, but gas was above $2 a gallon for all of last year. If Hastert's "American families" really had to make "tough choices" wouldn't they be making them?
