House investigation set to ban SUVs!

Time to start saving lives?

Finally! One of the more interesting angles to come out of Toyotagate is Dimitrios Biller.

Biller’s testimony regarding SUV rollover – completely unrelated to unintended acceleration – and Toyota’s attempt to ‘cover-it up’ demonstrates, ” a systematic disregard for the law and routine violation of court discovery orders in litigation,” stated House oversight committee Chairman Edolphus Towns.

Well, thanks for opening up that can of worms, Mr. Towns! So, how many people have died in Ford Explorers in the last few decades? How does Ford’s coverup compare to Toyota’s? More important, why, for decades, has Congress willingly allowed the SUV rollover cover-up to continue?

For the past few weeks Congress has taken numerous opportunities to slam Toyota and the NTHSA. What about Congress?

34 people have died via Toyota’s unintended acceleration. Unacceptable and horrible, no doubt. Nonetheless, for decades, Congress enabled more than 100,000 to die, despite mountains of evidence demonstrating SUV design flaws covered up in thousands of lawsuits involving every major automaker.

Maybe it’s time for an independent investigation of Congress?
