The country is still insane

As pointed out in an NY Times editorial today:

Just a few weeks ago, the Big Three American automakers convinced Congress to give them $25 billion in cheap loans to retool their plants to make fuel-efficient cars. Then, with nary a blush, the Ford Motor Company introduced the new star in its line: the 2009, 3-ton, 16-miles-per-gallon, F-150 pickup.

Yep, gas is down under $3 again - for the moment - so that whole "addiction to foreign oil" thing? So last quarter...
