Let's Stop Letting Idiots Make Policy: It Leads To Idiotic Policies!

SEE HERE Green jobs, green energy, green lima beans ... green is for leprechauns. Frankly as St. Patrick's day approaches all the green flim flam reminds me of leprechauns too. They were always fooling people who were trying to find the gold at the end of the rainbow. Well all the green flim flam is nonsense for the most part. It's expensive, non-sustainable, and bad policy nonsense. Electric cars are expensive and in the end consume more energy less efficiently than gasoline and they are not clean they just put the pollution somewhere else and concentrate it. Windmills are big, noisy, inefficient, unreliable, expensive and pointless. They also kill birds in great quantities and are an eyesore. Sun might work if they could just get the efficiency up but you still have a serious availability problem since the sun only shines 50% of the time nominally and that's not counting outages from cloudy days, rain, snow and stuff just when you probably want it most.

Taking your tax money to subsidize bad ideas is just another of the favors government is always providing. "We know better than you" they seem to be saying. When was the last time you remember that working out as the actual case? Government's been helping me out for years and except that it's involuntary I'd stop it all tomorrow. I'm entirely in favor of the market taking care of things. It tends to deliver them with higher quality and at less cost and less hassle than the government. Government's role should be for those things that government is particularly good at like the military (breaking things), and courts (putting criminals in jail) and generally let us live our lives and be left alone. Instead they want to tell me what kind of cooking oil to use, what subjects my kids should learn in school (most of which I disagree with), mix expensive and engine destroying additives into my gasoline which also drive up food prices, and on and on ... Every day they dream up something new. Clearly we have too many people working for the government.
