...surge: under a German economic stimulus program started in January, car owners who trade in vehicles that are more than nine years old for new, more environmentally friendly models can expect individual rebates of $3,172 from the German government. Buyers also get a break from paying road tax for at least a year. Similar scrapping schemes have been launched in recent months in France, Italy and Spain, while motor manufacturers in Britain are pleading with their government to follow suit.

...carmakers, which don't face the kind of long-term structural problems dogging Detroit.

The various tax increases in the Obama budget combine to form as great a threat to economic growth as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff - in effect a huge tax increase on consumers - did in the 1930s. Obama needs to slow down, recognize...
...poses are empirical questions, not ideological ones.) Moreover, the vast majority of conservative voters agree with Limbaugh, not the reformers, on most of these questions. If Limbaugh were to disappear tomorrow - which, by the way, he is not going to do - most conservatives would still put upper-income tax cuts at the top of their agenda. It's not as if they believe what they believe because Limbaugh told them...
