Whatever it was that once made America great seems to have faded away in the last couple of years and all that remains is an ever increasing tide of rampant silliness.
The latest crazy idea comes from the US Chamber of Commerce who have suggested that the federal government should now begin to tax hybrid and other fuel efficient cars.
At a time when the US and the world desperately need more cars like that an important body, that you would think contained some intelligent people, wants fuel efficient vehicles to be taxed.
I guess common sense is not a one of the important attributes for membership in the US Chamber of Commerce.
