If you don\u2019t think elections matter, wait about five years.<\/p>\n

Then go shopping for a new car.<\/p>\n

You will have your choice of a small hybrid car \u2013 or an electric car. Because by 2025, all new cars\u00a0will be required by federal\u00a0fatwa\u00a0to\u00a0average\u00a0almost 50 miles-per-gallon \u2013 nearly twice the current\u00a0fatwa<\/em>-mandated average.<\/p>\n

And the only cars capable of doing so are small hybrids like the Toyota Prius, Hyundai Ioniq and Kio Niro.<\/p>\n

And, of course, electric cars \u2013 which burn no gas at all. Well, not directly.

There may still be a few other, non-hybrid cars (and possibly even trucks) but these will have become very\u00a0artificially<\/em>\u00a0expensive \u2013 so you probably will not be able to afford one.<\/p>\n

Because the Democrats won control of the House.<\/p>\n

These Democrats believe it is the government\u2019s business to dictate (they aren\u2019t\u00a0recommending<\/em>) how much gas your car uses, never mind who pays for the car or the gas.<\/p>\n

And never mind that we have\u00a0plenty<\/em>\u00a0of gas.<\/p>\n

They will prevent the Orange One from rescinding the near-doubling (over the course of about five years) of the federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard that was\u00a0fatwa\u2019d<\/em>\u00a0by Barack Obama\u2019s EPA.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Cars that don\u2019t average almost 50 MPG will be the object of abusive fines designed to make them so expensive to sell that very few will be able to buy them \u2013 regardless of how much they want and prefer them to cars that average 50 MPGs.<\/p>\n

Since literally every car that\u2019s available right now that isn\u2019t a hybrid or electric averages nowhere close to 50 MPG, you can perhaps read the tea leaves.<\/p>\n

Thus, most of us will be nudged into…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
