The 65 mpg Ford the U.S. Can't Have

Ford's 2009 Fiesta ECOnetic goes on sale in November................  in Europe.  Why cant you buy it here in the U.S.?  Ford says they didnt think they could make ENOUGH money on it!!!!  Mind you they didnt say they would LOSE money on it, just that they wouldn't make enough. 
I think its time the PEOPLE of the U.S. started making the rules, instead of trusting their politicians to do it. I'm for anything of importance to go to a vote.  In an emergency like is now going on in the U.S. with its financial mess, sure the politicians can and must make the immediate decision, but at first chance (nearest election), the people get to vote whether or not to continue the policy. This would have ended the Iraq war at the beginning of Bush 2nd term for example.
Florida seem to use this tactic to their advantage at every election. Invariably they come up with some "initiative" that "irks" the bible thumping conservatives just enough to get them up and out to the polls on election day.
And its time someone stopped corporate CEO's from getting tens of millions, to hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation packages, to bring a company to bankruptcy!  Heck I can do that, and so can you.  Why do we need to pay so much for so little.
Even our presidents arent worth much. I recently read a conservative columnist  who said the last great president we had was Reagan. He went on to specifically say negative things about the 3 since Reagan, culminating with this on Bush: he disappointed our low expectations.  By the way he's totally for Palin in case you want to read it.
