It's only disappointing if you expect impartiality. Bending the law to favor one group over the other is what government is all about. Ethanol as a motor fuel (Bush) Soylandra (0bama) Sugar import restrictions (Florida nd other Gulf state Republicans and Democrats) all of these are massive distortions of the marketplace designed to favor one group at the expense of the average taxpayer. If you got rid of all of the maketplace distortions caused by government I suspect retail prices fo everything would drop on average at least 15%.
well yes i am disappointed; i hope i never get so cynical that i dump the desire for true fairness (which as you suggest often means government just bowing out altogether) on the floor. government so often behaves like God went on vacation and needs them to staff the post!
