Around here the poor landscapers are "having" to cut back and may even fold
due to drought. I really think that the upcoming poor economic performance, world oil and coal production are going to do a good job of limiting people's choices for a lot of things. Read an interesting article from
Tom Whipple this morning about the fast approaching distinction between the haves and the have nots. There is a lot going on the world that the average person doesn't know or care about, all the ones around me seem to care about is that the cost of gas to transport their FLA to WM is going up. They could care less that there are massive underlying issues that are probably going to take all of that away from them. BTW it is all the Republicat/Demicans fault BTW.
I have no problem with increasing taxes on fuels if it will be used properly to fund mass transit and other alternates. I am not a big fan of subsidies...look where that has taken us on the ethanol front (another goverment/big business boondoggle)
