Woo-hoo! You gotta pity the poor bastards driving the SUVs. Hell no, you don't. Use your $600 to buy a decent bicycle. Justin,

What’s really cool is that the rebate check will buy me about 10 fill-ups at $60 a pop! Woo-hoo! You gotta pity the poor bastards driving the SUVs. Hell no, you don’t. Use your $600 to buy a decent bicycle.

If gas prices reach $4 a gallon by memorial day as predicted, will an 18.4 cebt discount at the pump really make much of a difference? I don't know about anyone else, but $3.82 is still a little steep. In addition, I would much rather pay the 18.4 cents than go millions further into debt with China. I agree that the money could be much better spent on exploring ways to make alternative energy cheaper. If you ask me, this idea is about as brilliant as the $42 million letter (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23525100/) that the IRS sent out to inform Americans that they will recieve a rebate check.

Kudos to Tom Friedman for keeping or at least trying to keep the politicians honest.
