Now, if a car company sells cars that, on average, exceed whatever the fuel-economy limit is technically in force in a given year, they pay… nothing. The mandate is still in place, but the penalty is now $0.00. (Republicans pulled off the same trick with the dreaded Obamacare insurance mandate — zeroing out the penalty rather than trying to get the mandate repealed.)
They couldn’t clean these regulations out, so they neutered them. Now, just like the Obamacare mandate, they are still on the books serving no purpose other than cluttering up the bureaucracy.
Government is an endlessly growing mess.
