Illustrating Absurdity With Absurdity

There is no better illustration of that than the problem the government now faces with their plan to use tobacco taxes to pay for “education AGAINST smoking. Their plan is working. But not in the way they intended. They never intended for their “education” to significantly reduce tobacco usage so they would continue to have a “money tree.” But is IS working. Fewer people are smoking now than ever before, and that translates into less tax revenue coming from tobacco taxes. They don’t know what to do. It’s a case of unintended consequences. Something that happens frequently to the government, but never seems to dissuade them from their absurdities. (Rush Limbaugh)
