Goverment shouldn’t be “lowering prices”: supply and demand will take care of that. Government should ensure fair competition and the rule of law.Period.
“Goverment shouldn’t be lowering prices”
Sure they should...if it comes from reduced taxes.
Why should the government make a greater profit on the sale of a gallon of gas than the private enterprise?
The government raises or lowers price when they take actions that affect supply. The US Government has taken overt intentional action to restrict supply. The Democrats, with the help of Senator McCain are directly responsible for the restrictions.
The energy situation should be coequal to the war on terror as a campaign issue because the economic health of the US is vital to our defense. However, since Rino McCain is the defacto campaign leader and he has already gone to the other side on this issue, we are voiceless.
This issue alone highlights the danger of believing McCain would be the stronger defense candidate. We've lost this battle since he went over to the other side a long time ago.
