It has already been proven even in advanced societies like ours, greed, avarice, jeolousy, self interest, etc, if not placed under controls by our government, will end in disaster. People and their businesses can't be trusted to act on their own for the good of their neighbors and society, in a responsible way. It's every man and women for themselves.
Examples of this everday in the papers, look at the Enron/Anderson few that destroyed the lives of thousands and thousands of employees and investers, to benefit themselves. Did you forget so soon? And what's teh solution for this?
Speaking of fuel economy, why is there such a thing as CAFE?
If your government didn't regulate electric service to your home, you would be paying what you should for electric, many times more and way more than what you pay now for cable TV.
People complain about high electric rates, but they don't say squat about their higher cable TV bills, just images on a glass screen. Ask the Californians what happened when electric power companies were deregulated, and the few that profitted off their the sweat off their backs to pay the escalated bills.
So goes the same for your water bill, would be the same as your health care bill, out of control, if left unregulated.
Tell me greed and avarice on the part of lenders didn't create in part the mortgage default disaster.
Where do I recall seeing this: "NO CREDIT, BAD CREDIT, NO PROBLEM"
There is way too little expectations by you on our government, of the most powerfull country in the world, to do much of anything. We can invade countries and see tens of thousands die in the war including our own, yet powerless to do anything about fuel? How can that be? How gullible are you? I have a bridge to sell you, interested?
Good luck with the "why can't we all just can't get along" approach.
The government failed to produce an energy plan for the USA, plain and simple. That's how gas can double in a few years without a forecast it could happen, and not a thought or response plan about what to do about it.
Has Chrysler filled for bankruptsy yet, if they do, we will bail them out just like last time, the tax payers bailed them out, with the sweat off our backs that earned it to pay taxes.
And don't talk ethanol, not enough acerage in the USA to grow that much corn, presuming we need farms for food to eat too. Or maybe you believe a solar panel on the hardtop or roof of the car is the solution.
