The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 43,443 highway fatalities in 2005. If the maximum speed law were reduced the death toll would be sharply reduced.
So, if the Obama Administration wants to save lives at what they claim is little cost, here is a suggestion.
Independent observers estimate the proposed health care plan will cost trillions, in order to save to levels which the Obama administration’s lives protection estimates are fairly comparable.
Why not reduce interstate speed laws? Why not educate drivers to be more safety-minded? That would save lives with even better cost benefit.
The same can be said about health. Why not better obesity control, as one example?
