Here's a good one... We all enjoy our vehicles, right? But let's say the Obama Gov't thinks that we're not saving enough. So Obama proposes to have the government intervene even more in the free market by instituing "price signals" to force us to use less.
Now, don't worry if you're "poor" because Obama will make sure you aren't affected. Just the so called rich. More "spreading the wealth" I suppose.
So, let's say gas costs $2.50 per gallon because that is what going world-wide rate is for oil (plus existing taxes we already pay). Obama deems that's not enough to curb our consumption. Particularly since the price has declined A LOT since the summer of 2008. So, Lord Barry in his ultimate wisdom declares that there will be arbitrary "price signals" to jack up the price of gas - so that we will be better off.

I sure hope you Obama supporters are sure of what you're doing. :frown:
Just another example of Obama having no faith in the free market to let prices find their own level. This is the same stupid-think that got us into the current financial mess. They couldn't rely on lenders and the free market to determine who was able to afford a mortgate..... Noooooo.... that just not fair. The Dems, with Carter had to create these bogus government entities that perverted the free market and forced lenders to give loans to those who wouldn't otherwise qualify and who were high risk. Of course, it didn't make financial and good business sense, but who cared about that?
If they only would have taken a fraction of the money we've wasted on such crap programs and used it for education - at least that would have been somewhat better.
