Liberal arrogance on display:

They mandate air bags in cars, which result in deaths to drivers sitting too close and children in the front seat.

They mandate MTBE in gasoline to reduce emissions, but then contaminates millions of gallons of potable water.

They mandate all sorts of things with no regard for consequences.

They even mandate "TIME".

"TIME" to do away with daylight savings time. It's just plain DUMB.

But the ultimate in chutzpah is when these grand Leftist brain storms are proved to be bad policy, the Leftists double down on the bad policy to make them WORSE rather than better.

MTBE is no longer used. Hasn't been for almost a decade.

From what I understand MTBE is a by product of gasoline production and is costly to get rid of. The oil companies convinced the "greens" that adding it to gas would be better for the environment.
