Comment on Congress Just Buying People Cars Now

Comments

Can I have a $4500 voucher for a new bicycle? It uses no fossil fuel at all. (I estimate that an 18-pound bike will cause me to consume one less banana per week, compared to my current 21-pound bike. This will save hundreds of bananas per decade.)

I wasn't aware that banana consumption was a problem or that America depends on a healthy bike industry to thrive. News to me!

I wasn't aware that having a slightly-old car was a problem.

It isn't a problem. You car is probably perfectly fine and may get great gas mileage. The problem is that you are not consuming. Bad American!

I hope those bananas are fairly traded?
