These decisions are going to ruin our economy. Who is going to make him EAT his words?
0vomit, in his vast ignorance, is going to make the situation worse. Apparently he is unaware of Jevon’s Paradox.
See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
The more efficient you make things, the greater the demand for fuel. If he succeeds, he will increase fuel consumption, not decrease it.
Taxes work like this, too. Another thing 0vomit and the liberals don’t understand. Raise taxes, lower revenue. But they are not really interested in the environment or in paying the bills. They are interested in punishing their enemies (the “rich” - but only if they are conservative and productive) and they are mostly interested in power and trying to tell other people how to run their lives.
“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people’s lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognises infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it. It is not selfish to think for oneself. A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one’s neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him. A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.” - Oscar Wilde
