The measure is considered a long shot in Congress, given that Obama couldn't end the subsidies when Democrats controlled Congress earlier in his term.


Like I said, it's not just the Republicans.

Isn't it funny that I proved you wrong and myself right using a link you provided in a post where you called me an idiot.





You really are a idiot if you think that proves what you're saying it does.

The ambulance company pays for that gas becuase it gives them the ability to get to the scene faster. People already pay money for gasoline because it lets them do things easier/better. There are no price controls on gasoline, the producer can charge anything he wants. If he charges more than the value received by the ambulance company, no sale occurs. The benefit is already 'internalized' into the price people are willing to pay for gas. I dont think you understand the concept.




Really? You love to mention externalized costs and now I'm starting to suspect you don't understand them.

Answer me this. If externalized benefits are already included in the price then why aren't externalized costs?

It's perfectly obvious that it does just that.

You'd have pointed out my mistake if you didn't realize it too.
