Yet another thing Busch screwed up.

Now that he isn't in office I feel like I can finally share all the things this guy did to put the country in the mess it is in today. This was one I just discovered this evening. The big three had proof of high mileage concept vehicles they had developed using government research dollars. The program had been established by Clinton with $2B to reduce our oil consumption. The program was canceled by George Busch. A Diesel Hybrid that was capable of 60MPG 10 years ago. Maybe if they hadn't canceled their plans I would have been driving an American Car instead of a German VW Diesel built in Mexico.
