DUI and DWI really so theres two limits with same consequence?

I don't quite understand how there are two, I understand what they mean by definition but wondering how 2 came about. If the legal limit is .1 and the dwi limit is .08 or .06 then why the hell do they even have a .1 setup....Is this something setup with MADD to get more money out of people??? It literally makes no sense, if I haev a DUI or a DWI I'm still paying outrageous fines, insurance hikes and potential of a lot of lost job oppurtunities so why don't they just have one and call it a day?

    The laws are all screwed up, I got a DUI over a year ago, so then after getting my license and doing everything for it I chose to walk home two blocks instead of driving, and I ended up with a public intoxication ticket, granted it wasn't as bad at all as a DUI but it was just like really.... The only difference really is the classes. If you have a DUI the classes are more weeks, witch is more money and more time on probation.
