Government planners can never ever do things as well as a capitalist free market economy.

Plus this is just wrong. Government has no right to tell us what kind of lightbulb we can put in our homes. Where in the constitution is this? Are they going to send in the federal police to check to see if we have the right kind of lightbulbs. Plus it’s getting colder not warmer as the global warming hoax says it’s supposed to be getting warmer ( most of the country is freezing if you haven’t noticed).

Plus these governemnt idiots messed up again. It’s because of this liberal media socialist hoax, Global warming that they are mandating us to change our lightbulbs. and These new lightbulbs have mercury in them so if one breaks good luck in cleaning that up and not poisoning your family (government planning at work).

Plus many workmen use those big f-350 trucks . Are they now supposed to drive these little tiny cars to haul the thing they need to keep our economy going? What’s going to happen to these full sized trucks? Socialism has never worked.

We need smaller government, less taxes, less government. less laws. Capitalism works. government doesn’t .

They have so many laws now that anything we do or don’t do is bound to break some laws so that we are all criminals now and the government can crack down on all of us as is the intent. this is about increasing government power. this is not what America was created to be or is intended to be. The constitution and founding fathers created a very limited government. These politician morons have completely violated the constitution and are crazed with power. America should be about freedom. And guess what freedom works in the economy too . government regulations, laws and planning don’t work and just cripple private industry.

No, they will do like they did when they mandated that toilets could only use a prescribed amount of water to flush. You no longer can buy toilets that use the old amount of water. Soon, you will no longer be able to buy the incandescent light bulb. It will go the way of the dial phone, the record player and the soon to be VHS player.

Another over hyped media statement. The mercury content of lamps is becoming less and less. The new lamps have far less Mercury than the old style lamps. Even the new T8 lamps are smaller and more efficient than the old T12 lamps.

I am from Michigan the car capital of the world (was anyway). I know what higher gas mileage will do the car industry. It will make them better and not worse. I once had a 1967 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 275 HP V8 engine. It got 18 mph. My new Escape only get 18 mph and is a dinky 3.0 V6. Where is the improvement? My 500 weighed over 4400 pounds and was a boat compared to my Escape. If you don't force Detroit to make they better. They never will.

This is a rhetorical question. Rhetoric is one of the three ways to convince when reason has failed.
