I agree with that. People are going to be disappointed and angry when gas doesn’t drop significantly though. I was thinking we might need to ration again. Something like a low cost for the first 100 gallons a month and then a higher rate with truckers exempt. JAT.
Except for the fact that John McCain has been perhaps the most powerful member of Congress for the last decade, and therefore bears more responsibility than anyone for its abysmal performance.
What's the old definition of insanity?
"Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time?"
The country has gone insane, and so has the Republican Whig Party.
But it WOULD drop significantly if we did the right things.
I disagree that the oil companies trying to get all the market would bear would keep the price as high as it is now.
The market price itself would be influenced downward if we did the right things, so that whatever the stable price came to be would not be susceptible to oil companies somehow forcing it higher than that. That’s what a market does.
You also said congress could just raise taxes even higher. They COULD, but my premise was that if we did all the right things, market forces would force the price down. Part of doing the right things would be NOT to raise taxes.
I’m talking about, we need a gov’t policy that promotes and allows all the right things, then people would see lower prices.
