Default The cost of boating just went up. Gas hits all-time high.

Meanwhile, asking people to grow up and
take responsibility for their actions is free, and will actually work,
starting immediately.


So you're going to tell a single mom making $8 an hour that they need to
trade in their 1983 Electra for a $22,000 Accord? How is that "free"?

Are you resistant to the idea of voluntary
behavioral changes?


Nothing that involves government is voluntary. Government is by
definition
coercion ("you must") or proscription ("you can't"). That you do not
understand this most basic concept explains the inanity of most of your
posts.



I never said anything about telling anyone to trade in their car
immediately. I'm talking about upcoming purchases. And, there is nothing
coercive about a president using his TV time to ask people to rethink their
habits.
