More and more people are buying new cars, all thanks to our president

Now that the wealth that was taken from the greedy one percenters has been returned to those that really need it, it becomes obvious that the trickle up policies are generating a lot of car sales (in certain areas).

Thanks to the president indeed...

"The U.S. auto industry kicked off 2013 with rising car sales and strong demand for pickup trucks, signaling overall sales could bounce back this year to near pre-financial crisis levels.

U.S. car and light-truck sales climbed 14% over a year earlier to 1.04 million vehicles in January, according to researcher AutoData Corp.

Toyota Motor Corp.'s nearly 27% increase led the industry with most of the nation's top-selling car makers posting double-digit gains. General Motors Co. GM and Chrysler Group LLC each posted 16% gains over last year while Honda Motor Co.'s sales rose 13% and Ford Motor Co.'s climbed 22%. "

New vehicles sales are a real plus for the nation.

Better MPG equals less spending on foreign oil.

Less pollution from new cars.

New cars are safer.

More sales tax collected for local and state government.

While cars with better MPG use less gas, thus producing less gasoline tax, that should not be a problem. The feds and state governments around the nations have raiding gasoline taxes revenues for years and using the money for other projects.
