LAT favors "feebates"

Arguing in an editorial today that it's a no-brainer, the LAT chastises the California legislature for failure so far to authorize "feebates." It's a complicated scheme to reward some new car buyers while penalizing others for their choice of car. People who buy "environmentally friendly" cars would get a "feebate" while people who buy gas-eaters would be charged a penalty. There would be exemptions for people who "need" gas-eaters and guess who would decide who qualifies for an exemption. It's one of those social engineering schemes that liberals and socialists love.
