Double-Speak

Y'all have heard me moan about govt double-speak for quite a while. You've read my words that govt passed laws mandating the auto makers build crappy little cars that nobody wants, then screams "mismanagement" when the crappy cars don't sell. Then they take over a large portion of the industry.






You have heard about the govt mandating the banks to provide home loans to folks who can't afford them. When, predictably, the loans go into default, the govt screams "mismanagement" and takes over a large portion of the industry.

You've read other examples on my page as well.  Let's add another. Govt mandates oil companies to drill far away from shore, where it is easier to manage a burst pipe or a leak. So the oil companies go miles off shore, have a leak, and the govt screams "irresponsibility!" What do you think the plan is now?
