YEOOOOW! GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Observation of the Day!
On the news today they pointed out that Americans have driven 40 million miles less to save on gas. The government has been adamant about automobile companies improving MPG. This is all good, right? Not so fast! The government is now complaining that the revenues from gas taxes are declining. The government wants it both ways. Catch 22!
The government and anti-smoking groups want the world to quit smoking. That's a good thing, right? Not so fast! If everyone quit smoking cigarette taxes will be non-existent, leaving no money to subsidize tobacco farmers etc. Catch 22! Maybe we should have used tobacco settlement money for a rainy day fund. It certainly has been foolishly spent.
Ethanol is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American public. It has played a major role in food cost increases and uses huge amounts of water. We have a movement supported by the government to conserve on water. Ethanol plants are subsidized by the government, which is the prime reason it has attracted our farm crowd to invest. Without the subsidy would ethanol ever be a profitable venture? Besides all that it is not that efficient when adding up the plus and minus of it all. Catch 22!
Have a nice day!
