I have a dream....

....that someday, we will have a President and a Congress with a reality-based worldview.  What am I getting at now?

The EPA is mandating ever more production of a fuel, cellulosistic ethanol, which has never been shown to be efficiently mass produced, and that after a court struck down their (obviously failed) mandate from last year.

President Obama has introduced a "compromise" on his contraceptive and abortafacient coverage mandate that allows companies to "not pay" for coverage as long as the employees get that coverage "for free."  Wouldn't it be nice if the courts would start to strike down mandates that are a contradiction in terms and violate the TANSTAAFL principle?  Or if the President learned this basic principle of economics?

Along with the insanity of announcing the opening of combat roles to women before any woman has ever made it through infantry training, it's becoming more and more clear that Washington, DC, is not a reality based town.  Unfortunately, our nation's survival depends on it becoming one.
