and the automakers, and defense contractors, and insurance, and tobacco, and the unions etc., etc., etc.
Normal people haven't run affairs since before the industrial revolution.....
Back to my previous example, just think about the 10% ethanol fuel we're burning here in the metroplex. It's absolute crap, lowers mileage more than 10%, does absolutely nothing to lower pollution etc. Yet Clinton gave into the lobbyists for Joe Farmer in Iowa etc. and pushed for this stupid ethanol blend mandate.
Even the EPA's own attorneys have said that there has been no proof of an environmental improvement with the use of the blend. So if you're buying 10% less gas per tank because of the ethanol blend, but getting 10% less mileage, is anyone winning but the agricultural sector?
