Thank you.

Agreed.

I fail to recognize where anything related to government mandates actually has a relationship to the thing it immediately regulates.

Example. Claim: pollution from fossil fuels. Mandate: ethanol required in areas. Fact: ethanol has less Btu's than gasoline and results in less economy and now California is even recognizing that it generates more pollution. Real result: more gallons burned per mile generates more income for ponzi scheme of government road tax.
