It's obvious that those who feel most restricted or affected by a law or regulation designed for the benefit of the whole will be bitching the most. It is not hard to decide whether a law is enforceable by looking at what kind of staff they will appropriate to enforce it. That is the second shoe that will drop. Currently there is no money allocated for enforcement. This is "rock soup" government at it's best. They start with a simple regulation, that is ineffective and they will keep throwing new resources at it until it is a huge bureaucracy or hopefully just abandon the idea. I will not be restricted at all but I will be taxed. Just think of how many people that extra buck a year will benefit. :-) There are about 40 million tax payers (who actually pay) so I doubt they will be able to do it for a buck but there are lots of stupid programs and after a while, it ends up being lots of bucks. The real problem is we won't actually give them the bucks, we will bill our kids for it ... with interest or worse, just print more money. I haven't seen the GAO "score" on this but you can usually double that. In this case, double the current projection won't be enough because they have not decided how they will enforce it. That is when the "rock soup" comes into play. Lets say they give them $20 million for enforcement, hiring a bunch of drone cops. Then we have a real FFA failure. They will say we just spent $50 million on drones so we should spend $100 million more for real planes ... rinse repeat. Did you read my TSA post? |
