People thought he was crazy and it was not within reason. Engineers developed propulsion systems that relied on items not yet invented, but they knew were possible. We haven’t had a decade of such innovation since. “Ask not what your country can do for you” . Those words need to be resurrected.

First people b#tch about going to war with Iraq to get their oil. So where are we now? We have their oil, and I pay more at the pump now than ever before. Maybe we didn’t go to Iraq to get some oil. Maybe the loons were wrong. Maybe if they were wrong on one thing, they will be wrong on others. Maybe putting $600 bucks per person out there will stimulate the economy. Just maybe…….

Anyways that was directed at that idiot a few comments above me. Sorry to rant. Now about Johns idea of lifting the gas tax. Yea thats pretty damn stupid too. I just wish we had a better choice of people to represent the U.S. next besides Oboma bin Laden, Billary, McLame. These people should be clowns because they all make me laugh.

That would be forward thinking…

Increases consumption.

Increases the federal deficit.

Reduces the ability of governments to maintain current roads, remove snow, and fund new construction.

If anything, highway taxes should be increased.

Telling people what the NEED to hear instead of what the WANT to hear takes real strength and leadership.

The price of oil is the sign of real trouble. Yes, investors are affecting the price but they would not be in that market if there wasn’t a situation to take advantage of. A stable, efficient commodities market with no surprises is a poor investment environment. The investors have seen that the oil producers are having trouble producing more oil. More importantly, oil producers are having trouble finding significant sources of new oil. All of that equals oil shortages due to a lack of production capacity and high demand.

Such things as supply, demand, dollar strength or weakness, and political instability in key places help determine its price (along with a goodly portion of speculative trading). Politicians are looking to gain favor with voters by offering some pocketbook relief, which might have a short-term positive effect on the economy. But it’s just as likely to increase demand and cause the price of gasoline to increase to match the tax cut. The only sure way to decrease the price of gasoline is to increase supply (unlikely, unless OPEC is feeling generous) or better, reduce demand. If people just reduced trips and bought smaller, more efficient cars prices would at least stabilize, and they would realize an overall savings on fuel costs.

Oil companies will just get the money instead of the government.
