Let's Talk "GrownUp" re: Gas Prices

Posted in: Muscatine
 


When W was in office and gas prices went up, all the left, including our present pos potus, blamed Bush. Now it seems to be the "speculators" that are causing high gas prices. Simply amazin'!


You have a point.... This is still Bush's fault.

He is STILL more powerful than you even dreamed isn't he?

Mal = Certified wacko!  Looks like you've conceded this one.

   By the way, the free market has and can handle anything besides war.

 

Now that is a broad statement.   Only one exception, war.

How has and can the free market handle:

  Overpopulation?

  Extinction of species?

  Replacing non-renewable resources?

  Starvation?

  Desertification?

  Ebola virus?

  Greenland ice cap melting?

  Over fishing the oceans?

  Educating the children of the poor?

  Providing fire protection to the community?

  Police protection?

  Creating and maintaining a highway system?

  Terrorism?

   Illegal immigration

   Et Al

 

Why would the free market even get involved in most of these much less handle them, even handle them badly?   If there is no profit, there is no incentive to get involved.

I'll admit they've tinkered with some of them but only tinkered.

Private guards for their property.   Toll roads.

It's not being powerful when you just walk away from or close your eyes to the problems or exacerbate them.   Any scrawny, fool can do that.
