My first thought is that few people will hear about the fuel subsidy and also few people will acknowledge that is will be beneficial that the gov't does not use this spend this money because of the reasons we talked about in our Keynes discussion. My second thought was, but the gov't will probably not just cut the money from the budget and will use it to subsidize something else.

I didn't think government would show us yet another reason why "choice in healthcare" with reform is a pipe dream, so quickly. Anyone naive enough to believe that we'll have real choice when one of the competitors in the market also happens to make law might deserve what they get. So soon?
