Stupid Government

Chuck Muth of Nevada News and Views sends us a Stuck on Stupid Alert:

From the Department of You’ve Gotta Be Freaking Kidding Me:

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports this afternoon that in the middle of this Great Recession – with bankruptcies and foreclosures through the roof; with unemployment higher in Nevada than anywhere else in the free world; with an Energizer Bunny state budget deficit that seems to just keep growing and growing and growing; with public schools sucking and health care costs skyrocketing – some of our lame-brained legislators, led by our Nanny-Stater-in-Chief, Sen. Mike Schneider (D-Uranus), “agreed Tuesday to draw up a bill to require auto repair shops, smog stations and oil change businesses to check the air pressure in their customers’ tires.”

That’s right. As Rome burns, the Subcommittee on the Production and Use of Energy is contemplating a stupid bill mandating that Nevada businesses check your stinking tire pressure!

Because The One announced, once upon a time, that checking our tire pressure would be a major step in reducing our dependence on foreign oil. And what The One says must be obeyed!

The sheer insanity of this does boggle the mind – but it also is another perfect example of the liberal mindset. The mindless interference in personal lives. The onerous regulation of business. The action designed to make it seem like something is being done when nothing gets solved. Once again, we can’t get these clowns – local, State and federal – out of office soon enough
