Should The Feds Start Giving Tax Breaks To Efficient Trucks?

Should The Feds Start Giving Tax Breaks To Efficient Trucks?
Conventional wisdom says that to improve passenger vehicle fuel economy, the government should incentivize the most efficient machines and raise mileage standards—as it has done. But, to take a contrarian perspective, what if we put incentives against large, gas-guzzling trucks to motivate improvements and make the vehicles affordable?

Why does everyone think there should be a tax break - you make decisions based upon financial reasons not taxes - you'd think the truck industry would have been demanding more fuel efficient trucks with the price of fuel and that should be reason enough for them to produce more efficient trucks, not requiring tax breaks to produce fuel efficient trucks

Tax breaks just for Billionaires! after all they deserve it! ok I am kidding, but this is how it works sadly, to give the working middle class a very small tax break I wouldn't be sweating it.

It's almost like individuals in the government are trying to make/pass laws etc to validate their existence.

Joe, better hire a super committee to examine your point - it will create jobs, just hope for them and change will come ;)

If anything, there should be a tax hike.

Please don't encourage the gov to tax us any more, this is there tax scheme to tax us more because it is good for the environment, it also gets brownie points for the politicians, I consider myself an environmentalist, I am just not a nut about it, my brother drives a H-3 T Alpha and he gets ignorant environmentalists blasting him all of the time for driving a Hummer and how dare he, he must be a scum bag and the thing sucks fuel back....Ironically they say nothing to half of the other cars and trucks that are way worse on fuel, I think it would be ok to reward people to drive fuel efficient vehicles, it's more gas for us,lol
