I think Josh's point was that too many people buy large trucks for reasons that make no sense, and "Just because I want one" makes no sense to the welfare of the country as a whole. "I need to bring home sheets of plywood or bales of peat moss sometimes" is bullshit, because you can rent a U-Haul for $35.00, which is much cheaper than the gas you'll waste in a year with a large truck. "It's safer to drive and better in snow" is bullshit.
But, the worst bullshit is seeing sending more, rather than less to Saudi Arabia, whose government supports madrashes - schools that train aimless men to become terrorists and kill Americans.
