It won't drive down prices of bigger cars. But, we could use some less expensive options in the US. They don't have to be tiny. They just don't need every g-damn feature under the sun to be standard equipment.

The carmakers have been paying big money totheir investors for a long time. If they stop paying them the investors willleave the price ofa car has nothing to do with the sizeof the vehicle and everything to do with how much people will pay for it. Do you really think it costs $100k to make a pickup?

We tax & regulate each other to death in America. All the requirements of auto makers, drive up costs. Cut the "Red Tape" & let them compete for average consumers. Give us a 2026 with carburetor, no catalytic converter, knobs, dials...you know, the ones that you can work on & lasts 50 years!

Close the CAFE loophole, regulate away from huge vehicles, enforce existing laws against large trucks that have been illegally modified. These criticisms are just demonstrating that our roads are ALREADY unsafe and we should be moving in a direction that is safe for small vehicles AND pedestrians.
