Look, it’s an easy equation- the less you have to spend on overhead and inefficiency, the more you can put in your pocket. Personally, I hate paying for gas at even $2 a gallon, when I know that I shouldn’t have to. (We’ll leave the soon-to-be plummeting value of a dollar out of the equation for now.)
I hate paying $1 for an ear of corn. I hate paying $9 a pound for steak. I want to spend less and get more for it, don’t you?
Everyone wants to turn everything into a Dem vs Rep thing (especially the politicians) and when you do that, you’re playing into their control freak game. We also have entire industries whose existence depends upon our forced use of outdated technology. These people contribute a lot of money to politicians, so regulations and mandates, written in their favor, keep the stupidity (and the money flow) alive.
It’s time to break free from the limited thinking that’s led us to where we are today. Obama certainly isn’t the solution, but neither is maintaining things that need to go by the wayside.
I do not believe in the government mandating this. I believe the market should drive it. Sure, the government can help, but why regulate business into the ground?
Thank you for your civil response...
