U.S. Gov. Regulators are Mass Murders


The government mandate on ever higher fuel mileage has resulted in ever more dangerous automobiles. Killing more than 17000 people since 9/11

As the hoax of a Toyota Prius with a so-called stuck accelerator races down a California freeway, no one mourns the real victims, those of the fuel economy standards imposed by a green Congress. Forced into ever smaller and lighter cars by interfering government regulators --- thousands have died needlessly.

It has become fashionable to beat up on one of the best engineered automobiles in the world. No one does that better than James Sikes, 61, claiming that his Toyota Prius accelerated uncontrollably while he drove down Interstate 8 in San Diego County. We can only imagine the continuation of the grandstanding by the owners of GM ("government motors") as they further browbeat a competitor of The U.S. government-run GM and Chrysler.

Toyota has been falsely accused of cutting corners in the name of profit. (A dirty word in this Obama administration) The Congress that now huffs and puffs in righteous indignation can be accused of increasing the carnage on the nation's highways in the name of saving gasoline, (high priced and in short supply caroused by the same U.S. Congress.).

Sudden-acceleration events in Toyota and Lexus vehicles have been blamed for at least 19 fatalities and 815 vehicle crashes since 1999. That's fewer than two fatalities a year in a country that makes 1.8 million cars annually.

Let’s put this into a little prospective
Let’s take a look at the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards enacted by the federal government in response to the Arab oil embargo. Lately, supporters have sought to increase these standards in the name of fighting another hoax propelled by congress, Industrial caused “Global Warming” then down graded to Industrial caused climate change since November of 09 downgraded to a fabricated HOAX. They have neither reduced our dependence on foreign oil nor saved the Earth from the nasty polluting Americans.

What they have done over time is to force Americans into yet smaller, lighter, weaker, and less-safe vehicles. The rise of the sports utility vehicle was a consumer-driven response led by American families that wanted bigger and safer vehicles to transport themselves and their children.
Recent research has been lacking, but what studies have been done over time, paint a mean, and tragic picture. A 2006 study by Ryan Bilas of the National Center for Public Policy Research documented the various findings that CAFE standards have cost thousands of lives. The laws of physics have not changed since CAFE was first enacted.

According to a 2003 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study, when a vehicles weight is reduced by just 100 pounds the estimated fatality rate increases by as much as 5.63% for light cars weighing less than 2,950 pounds, 4.70% for heavier cars weighing over 2,950 pounds and 3.06% for light trucks.

A study done by USA Today, using data from the NHTSA and the Institute for Highway Safety, found that through 1998, weight and size reductions undertaken by automakers to meet fuel efficiency standards has resulted in more than 46,000 deaths. That's the population of Pocatello, Idaho, wiped out by the interference of malicious federal regulations.

A 2001 National Research Council study concluded that CAFE was responsible for more than 2,000 additional deaths on the highway annually. Compare this to Toyota's average of two fatalities per year in a country with 40,000 highway deaths annually, a death rate of 0.005%.

While Congress ponders this and other cases of unintended acceleration, it should ponder its own malicious actions which have resulted in the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Americans.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The title of this article might seem a little severe until one realizes that the Congress made these regulations with the full knowledge that lighter, weaker made vehicles translate to unsafe vehicles, premeditating the increased loss of life on our highways.

Totally ignoring the automotive engineers and instead bowing to the air head green weed huggers, the resulting regulations killed thousands of unsuspecting innocent Americans.

For the past decade the green weed huggers have demonized the SUV as if it were some kind of independent monster bent on destroying the earth and all the trees and animals.

Since 1998 their bought and paid for regulations have been destroying thousands of innocent people’s lives. Oh! I almost forgot, humans are not part of the ecological equation. We are the bad guys! It’s the weeds, that are the good guys… SAVE THE WEEDS, KILL THE HUMANS.
