The tire-gauge and the spoiled spouse

avatar


The Republicans are like the spoiled spouse who responds with sarcastic snark when you suggest they stop buying shoes so you can afford to buy the kid a car to get to work.

Please!

When Obama points out that we can save a measurable amount of gasoline (and money) with zero risk and 79 cents expense, the Republicans respond with sarcasm and ridicule. Compensating much??? 
Why would we want to save money and defund terrorist when we could spend more and complain about it.

Californians use nearly 30% less energy per capita than they rest of the country -- this despite a strong growing high tech economy. 
This is because they've spent the last 3 decades investing in simple high-return, low risk projects to save energy.  Proper, inflation of your tires is but one of these.

If Republicans want to pout and act like children when presented with common sense solutions, then maybe it's time for the grown-ups to take over.
