[quote:981f2]why wouldnt you just cash it for 100?[/quote:981f2]

The governments not about to hand out checks to 150 million crybabies - no doubt it would be a voucher, non-redeemable for cash (at least not to the consumner). They might even make it only available to individuals with registered vehicles (if this thing gets off the ground - which it wont).

[quote:981f2]because he is black and doesnt know the value of hard work.[/quote:981f2]

What the fuck is "Lithuanian" - some East European Ska-Band who pop anal beads ass-to-ass as part of their on-stage gimmick?

Seriously - help me out here. . .

[quote:3344b]they tried that. it was even worse.[/quote:3344b]

When did we try to regulate it? I dont recall, I aslo dont recall how it could possibly make it worse?! Remember katrina? Remember that smaller hurricane that hit around that time aswell? Well, for the smaller one, a few days before it hit, gas went up 20cents... all because of speculating.

laissez faire doesnt mean socialism, it means "hands off" as in the government doesnt regulate business/industry. Ever since hoover gave way to FDR, the government has played a huge role in business and industry regulation. Though this is all pretty much pointless to the topic.

The only truly monopolistic country is Hong Kong.

It is very hard for any country to totally have their hands off the economy, I think it may be impossible.
