[quote=TheBreeze]What are you going to do for the people who can’t afford $10 gas??
No wonder Congressional Approval is only 12%. They don’t get it either.
So you want Congress to subsidize the price of gasoline? What incentive would those who are investing in alterntive sources of energy have then?
We need to go through this short-term pain of high-priced gas so that other, sustainable forms of energy can be profitably developed. Subsidizing the price of gas would be a horrible short-term solution that would leave us all worse off in the long run.[/quote]
I want them to quit taking bribes from the wacko tree huggers and change the laws to allow development of our on oil. We have more oil then the Middle East does.
Its stupid to allow our resources to lay dormant and give $500 billion away yearly to OPEC. While at the same time allow China and Cuba to “slat drill” 50 miles off of south beach.
You think China, the most poluted country on Earth give a shit about a little oil on Miami Beach??
BTW, what makes you think this is short term anyway and what is short term to you??
Unless we increase supply prices will only go up and hurt the middle, lower class even more.
Congress is causing the price of oil to be artificially high because they need the campaign contributions from the Nazi Environmentalist.
BTW, “Alternative Energy” is a joke. It will be 30-50 years before we have a real alternative which is cold fusion, zero point energy and anti gravity.
