Phil, you posted the following: >>Currently I pay $420/year for liability and uninsured motorist insurance. My >>Honda gets about 30 MPG & 5K/yr. My Subaru gets about 20 MPG & about 10K/yr. >>My annual gas consumption is roughly 666 gallons. At $.40/gal that has me >>paying a mere $266.40/yr, a savings of $153.60. > You are assuming the government won't play "bait and switch" with > you. They'll sell you a service with made up numbers and raise > the prices after it's a law and you can't do anything about it. > Just look at Clinton and middle class taxes. I am assuming no such thing. My original post merely pointed out that the gov't figures looked like a minor savings for my family. You obviously neglected to read my final sentence: "I do not, however, trust the government to make something like this work right." Yes, "bait & switch" would screw this up. So would any number of other failings (what would accident victims do when the budget is sequestered?). Peace, John * Origin: The Recovery Connection 1-310-322-2745 (1:102/541)
