    Sen. Barbara Boxer files a bill that would require car rental companies such as Hertz Global (HTZ -1.8%), Dollar Thrifty (DTG -1.3%), and Avis Budget (CAR -0.8%) to pull recalled cars from their fleets. A group representing the industry opposes the proposed legislation, saying companies already adopt conservative standards and don't need to be more highly regulated.

  • Yes, this is one of the more pressing concerns facing America.

    Lets see..... I could introduce a balanced budget? Nope. I could introduce a bill to consolidate cabinent agencies to save money? Nope. I could introduce a bill that reforms the tax code and lessens the presence of the IRS in my constituancies lives? Nope.

    Or I could introduce some garbage that will require we hire more useless bureaucrats..... who will then vote for me!!!

    Bingo!!!

  • Cars are recalled for serious safety reasons. No wonder GOP types are high school dropouts.
