it always amazes me when the millionare politicians say that something isn't expensive or that the costs will offset themselves.
it doesn't really work that way as anyone who has taken even a high school level economics class can tell you.
step1: make a mroe expensive car
step2: pay more in insurance because your car is more valuble
step3: hope that the car averages the 7-10 years it would take at average driving mileage to pay back the first two price increases discussed.
step4: watch greenhouse emissions increase because those same millianares that want you to drive a ****** car turn around and give breaks to companies that produce as much greenhouse **** as a thousand cars each day.
step5: start over at step 1
the politicians don't come from the average crowd, so i guess it is a stretch to expect them to be at least of average intelligence. but christ, they have to know that frcing people to spend more money is not the way to get re-elected.
