Reality Sets In

In California, they mandated the use of "small cars" that used less gas. Shortly they figured out they were getting less gas tax money so they raised the gasoline tax. In Denver, Colorado, they had a campaign to reduce the use of water. Soon they realized they were selling less water and taking in less money. So they raised the water rates. Obama wants to put in a "smart switch" to turn your lights off for an hour in the evening. Controlled by the government, not by you. It usually doesn't take bureaucrats long to be "hit by reality" in such cases. Do they then reverse their original plans? NO! They raise taxes or "fees." (Just common sense)
