Barack Hussein Obama: Use “Price Signals” To Change Behavior…

In the video below, Barack Hussein Obama discusses how “price signals” – artificially increased costs – can be used to manipulate consumers into conforming with standards set by government. Scary stuff.

We need government to get out of the “price signals” business and get back to normal regulation.

Uh, Ed, normal regulations, non-normal regulations, poofy-woofy regulations, any regulations ARE "price signals". For evidence, I proffer The Community Reinvestment Act. Oh, and BTW, how is the government doing with regulations these days? Ever hear of Cost of Government Day?

No attack on this. I think the American people sent a pretty good signal already by conserving. Tankers are lined up the bay as they can’t sell it fast enough. Shipping can’t leave the fields until those tanker return so, I’d say we’re doing a fine job and to keep it up. Where I am, gas is 2.21 at last check and falling. We’re making them eat their oil. I’m say keep it up until its 1.50 a gallon.

Why attack Obama when he’s saying sensible things? It’s Econ 101 that if there are externalities to fuel usage, then the government should tax fuel usage or “send price signals”. We can debate climate change, but if we assume climate change as Obama does, then he’s simply correct in what he’s saying.

For that matter, I would not characterize what happen in the housing market as the government manipulating price signals. It was bad regulation to be sure, but it was not the blatant tax or subsidy in the sense Obama has in mind when discussing energy. Tobacco taxes are a much better example of price signals.

Oh goodie… just in time for the next 30 yr freeze. I truly believe Obama wants his “Civilian Defense Force” to fight the revolt that he would surely inspire. Methinks Erica Jong might get her unpleasantness with an Obama win.

Remember that Obama wants to take money from the energy suppliers to give it to the poor to pay for the newly more expensive energy. More expensive because he took the money from the suppliers.

Because he’s a f****** idiot.

Either that, or he just wants the government to have its 30% cut of the process. And since, let’s be honest, the middle class won’t en up with the credit, he wants to screw the middle in the process of slapping around both ends.

Your IRS Identity Card and your car’s MPG Bar Code will be used to determine what tax you pay at pump. Higher income = higher gas tax. Lower MPG = higher gas tax.

Eventually this will be rolled into your Behavioral Optimizer Government Unification Score. You will receive the change you’ve been waiting for.

A kossak at work said he likes the idea of socialism coming from an Obama administration. Too many people go for what sounds good on paper, well it sounds good until you think of the ramifications and actual historical experiences.
