government's job is to strip mine taxpayers as slow as necessary to keep increasing revenue as they can't grow otherwise.
the largest growth sector right now is government jobs.
in CA, they were going to have fines if you didn't have your tires checked when you took it in. somehow at the last minute that part was pulled, but they still passed something so it was encouraged. the guy who provided all the summary reports for the CA air resource board had a phony PH.D. from a site in Israel that you paid for your degree. amazing that they wouldn't check and yes, brings into question any findings they have as all data used for further smog reduction is based on corollated evidence that people are dying from particulates in the air. i've reviewed the 3 papers for that conclusion, and i've gotta say, it is a little disturbing. oh well. voters don't seem to care as long as they can vote themselves other people's money.
does anyone know anyone that has died from diesel particulates and if so, how many days was their life shortened?
