President Barack Obama has an order for federal agencies: No more driving full-size sedans or SUVs unless it is absolutely necessary. That means fewer Chevrolet Impalas and more Cruzes. Fewer Ford Taurus sedans and more Ford Fiestas. More federal workers driving around in smaller vehicles rather than gas-guzzling SUVs. Within six months, "any executive fleet vehicles that are larger than a midsize sedan or do not comply with alternative fueled vehicle requirements must be disclosed on agency websites," the order said. It is part of Obama's plan to make the 600,000-vehicle federal fleet smaller and more fuel efficient...more
Why just vehicles Mr. Obama? Let's make the entire gov't "smaller and more...efficient."
My, what a horrible punishment: disclosure of noncompliance must be posted on the agency's website! If that were to happen, can't you just see all those federal employees walking around with their heads down because of the shame.
Now, for a more fuel efficient federal workforce I would propose as a beginning that all IRS agents ride donkeys.
You take it from there...give me your ideas.

In implementing the Travel Management Plan for the Kaibab NF the FS dictated the public must walk or use wheelbarrows for fuelwood collection. In view of obamas decree, I sure hope I see FS personnel making increased use of wheelbarrows for off road project work!
