    In some states, insurance laws are such that if: A) you have collision/comprehensive insurance; and B) your windshield is damaged (by, say, a rock kicked up by another car), your insurer has to replace the windshield without a deductible. Anybody who gets a windshield replaced under such a regime and believes he/she got that windshield "for free" is a moron. Anybody who writes that that state's laws requires insurers to replace windshields "without charging for them" is worse.

    Would you like (another) giant disclaimer mandated for all dealership ads stating that the cost of ancillary services is of course built into the price of the car you dolt and don't even think of feeling the least bit pleased with yourself because even though you had to blow half a Saturday at the dealership with the sucky free* wifi four times a year, at least you didn't have to whip out the debit card at that moment in time to get the oil changed? Or would that be another evil government intrusion into the sacred marketplace where the consumers can caveat their own emptors?

    * Of course the wifi isn't free, you dolt. Are you fucking dense? Go and say three Milton Friedmans and sin no more.

    You're the guy who eagerly applauds when Rush says, "The Department of Energy doesn't make any energy! It should be abolished!"

    No. But if under a Consumer Reports byline it was written that a given car comes with "free" oil changes, I'd want that magazine to post a disclaimer somewhere to the effect of "Our journalists pose as experts of all things consumer-ish, but in reality they ain't got enough sense to pound sand down a rat hole."

    I can't see any way to cut $1 trillion per year out of the budget without it severely impacting the rural, blue collar folks who are Trump's most vocal champions. Unless, of course, he's going to cut defense, Medicare and Social Security.

    The oil changes at dealerships take so long because they don't want you to come in for them.

    It's nearly literally impossible, unless we're cutting every single dime of spending outside of SS, Medicare and Defense.
