agreed 100%.
I wish central planning was exposed as the sham it is. When you try to fine tune things by subsidizing certain things and placing a tariff on others you destroy accurate pricing information that allows entrepreneurs and even consumers from making decisions about efficient resource allocation. You're changed over from "those who supply people with what they want get rewarded" to "those who guess where the government will jump next get rewarded". I've seen it first hand in business sectors that are particularly vulnerable to government intervention such as the housing market.
