It's the argument of how political policy affects our daily lives. An apple should be about .75¢. it now costs $1.40 because of energy policy. That affects me. And it's a direct result of you voting democrat, because I know you didn't like trump's face, or the way he talked. But he was good with business and was able to keep the economy flowing. By not being overboard in policy. That's the difference between conservative and liberal. Conservative allows things to run with efficiency, following past record of efficiency. Progressive is always trying to change things to find a better way. Well, right now progressive policy is making things worse. Much worse.

The Frankish Reich Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Regardless of what your politics are: how governments are reacting to the bump in fuel prices shows how inept they are. Example: California is considering a $400 “rebate” per licensed vehicle. Let’s say fuel prices are up 2 bucks per gallon. Let’s also assume (for the consumer market) 25 miles per gallon. That means Gov Newsom will defray the added cost of driving 5,000 miles. Do we want people to drive those 5,000 miles despite fuel costing 2 bucks a gallon more? Even setting aside environmental concerns, any economist would tell you the answer is “no.” “No” is how we get markets to reach a new fuel price equilibrium. Let’s not mess with supply/demand curves. Plus: I don’t know if it would be some kind of fuel gift card or whether it would be a straight $400 per licensed vehicle direct deposit. If the latter, people who could shift to alternate means of transportation would get a windfall to buy a new OLED TV. (3 cars = $1200). So would teleworkers. Or waiving the gas tax: the gas tax is a user fee. If you don’t drive a gas engine vehicle, you don’t pay. So road maintenance will come out of …. Sales taxes? State income taxes? Won’t be done? How does this help? Sometimes it seems like we are governed by the economically illiterate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
