As regular readers know, one of my favorite subjects is exposing underlying data that completely refutes the misleading or patently false claims from government, almost all politicians, and especially the POTUS himself on a whole host of issues. I also have to think that over the past three years especially, I've likely written more about the horrendous fiscal damage done to the nation and it's population by the administration's efforts to keep the price of oil at it's highest possible level, than any other topic.
Today however, I came across an article by Nevin Batwalla, Staff Reporter at the Nashville Business Journal that not only supports my beliefs about the president's biased agenda regarding oil, but also blows huge holes in his ridiculous claims about the benefits and economies of moving away from fossil fuel.
According to the article, "If you're thinking about buying a fuel-efficient hybrid, electric or otherwise eco-friendly vehicle as a way to save money over time, do your homework -or be prepared to wait." Those choosing the Nissan all-electric Leaf costing $28,421 over the gas-powered equivalent, Versa at $18,640, will likely wait nearly 9 years until they break even. As for the Chevy Volt costing $31,767, the wait is even longer -26.6 years. The data comes from a recent New York Times report examining the cost of fuel efficiency.
In comparison some vehicles begin paying off relatively sooner, such as two hybrids, Toyota's Prius, $23,537, Lincoln's MKZ $33,887 and Volkswagen's diesel-powered Jetta TDI at $25,242. All three of these cars take less than two years before starting to save owners money.
So here once again we have evidence from reliable sources clearly illustrating the administration's total disregard for the economic damage done while it panders to the goals set by special interests. But above all else, what I really don't comprehend at all is that despite the continuing massing of evidence that the population's being virtually stolen from via the cost of fuel, why do they sit there with their mouths shut and let the administration continue to do it ? It just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
