SUVs are a dead end.  The sooner we recognize that fact the better off we will be. 

Maybe they can retool and build these prototype Toyota transit vehicles in Blue Springs.

Toyota is not your average business and keeps reserves of cash to make it through tough times.  Most likely, there will be an SUV market for some time to come, but it will be a smaller one than has been.  Gas prices will obviously impact if it gets even smaller.

Time will tell if Childers has the cajones to call for more drilling or if “owes it” to Nancy to remain quiet.

Odds are that the plant will open, just not on the original schedule.  Original thoughts were that it would expand from 2k to 4k jobs within a few years.  That’s probably not going to happen.

I guess it’s easier to go along with your allies.  First, help out your trial lawyer buddies such as Joey, er, sorry, not any more.  But help out lawyers by giving them more opportunity to sue (we all see how lawsuits bring down prices in things from McDonald’s coffee to healthcare, don’t we?).  Then, remain silent so that Nancy can show the Hollywood and Harvard crowds how we’re protecting the livestock while restricting the supply of our most important natural resource.

Hey nesmblogger,
DO you actually believe that?  Let’s see here....sooo forget about actually trying to prodcue a car that can run on something other than oil?  I mean let’s give up on that, we can land something on Mars, but coming up with an electric car or car that runs on water....not that important.  Let’s continue to poison our planet and finance our enemies.  Why should we focus our government’s resources on becoming independent of people who want to kill us? Yeah, it is Pelosi’s fought that Oil went down today, but gas prices didn’t.  And it is just coincidence that oil companies have record profits during this administration.  As far as prices increases because of Lawsuits, you need to read Haley’s and Charlie Ross press releases.  Charlie Ross stated in the Wall Street Journal that “Now, a year has passed since the legislation took effect, and the Mississippi experience is instructive. Tort reform works.” While the State needed tort reform, has your health care gone down? interesting how that like gas seems to increase no matter what? 

But hey, this is one conservative that hopes you keep on spewing that garbage of the evil Pelosi and evil gay marriage.  Maybe next year we can have an administration that is not a historical laughing stock . . . or have you not heard that a Black man with a muslim name or the hated John McCain is about to be president because of the incompetence of Bush, Cheney, and Rove.

Hot Rod, no one ever claimed that tort reform would immediately bring down health care costs.  What the pro tort reform folks claimed was that passing the legislation would stabilize the health care system and hopefully prevent its impending implosion.  It DID that.  In working with my local hospital administrator I got to see first hand what was happening to our health care system.  Most Mississippians still do not realize just how close the trial lawyers came to destroying that system.
