Palin decries water restrictions at Calif. college

This is why that simpleton should never be President. California's water restrictions were imposed after years of drought in the 2000s. The fact that water restrictions were placed on farmers was in part because taking up all the water would affect the state's struggling fishing industry(more specifically the industries that fish the already endangered salmon, steelhead and green sturgeon). In any case it would be a lose-lose situation for the federal government. Let farmers use as much water as they want and kill off a piece of California fishing industry. Or let the fishing industry die off and have thousands of fisherman out of work. The federal government chose to let both industries share the resource. In any case, Palin needed to talk about big bad evil government.

How about a solution that neither would support: raise prices to market levels so that we ration our supply and don't get into a drought every other year.

The federal government had no authority in the situation. The situation isn't that serious to me. Government is not in the business of worrying about fish.

So screw anyone with a job in the fishing industry, is what you're saying?

Why can't California protect a vital industry?

Why is it screwing consumers by not rationing supply with higher prices? Instead we are not allowed to water lawns and wash cars. Is that a better system?
