[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] [QUOTE] By that logic, government should mandate the teardown all of our coal power plants right now and rebuild them as nuclear fission reactors, right? And immediately replace all incandescent, flourescent, and CFL bulbs with LED? And perhaps all automobiles and lawnmowers running off of internal combustion should be banned by, say, June 2011. [/QUOTE]That is correct. We went to the moon in nine years through a government mandate, returning more money to the economy than the government spent, to say nothing of the softer returns of prestige, morale, and inspiration. Or the G.I. Bill, which, in addition to being a worthy reward for the service provided and providing an education to a generation of people, returned $7 to the economy for every $1 the government spent. Sometimes, government spending is more efficient and more effective than the free market. [/QB][/QUOTE]
