$16/gallon is right about where Obama wants our gas prices to be.
Of course they see nothing wrong in this.

If it’s politically infeasible to cut the military by 75% (as if 50% is not enough), well the next best thing is to make the dollars they do spend only go 25% of the way they do now.

They cut back on money for the USNA and then p-ss what they “save” on $16 fuel! I can’t wait for Obama and his scub to be thrown out of office!

If this is some of the fuel that has to be shipped precariously at a hundred times its from-the-refinery cost to a war zone, it makes it a lot easier to hide the initial expenditure as the difference in ultimate expenditure will be within 1%.

I bet the fuel they have to FLY IN to Afghanistan now is REALLY expensive (delivery cost, etc.).

(You can never have enough friends, horsepower or ammunition.)
Unfortunately, for far too long, far too many people have been elected or appointed by those elected, who see government as nothing more than a conduit for funds from the useful idiots to themselves. It all starts with greed. This is different than "self interest." Greed is self destructive. It starts with people who are thrilled to learn they can vote themselves other peoples' stuff. Then they work to elect people who claim they'll get them even more of the other peoples' stuff. At some point they become addicted to those they've elected, and believe that they can't live without the largess promised by those they elected. They gladly allow themselves to be shackled by those who own them. But the elected know they can just claim it's other peoples' fault that they're not doing as well as they believe they should. And they promise more.
This sort of greed used to be anathema to Americans, and it still is to many. But we're nearing a tipping point, where the looters and the moochers will be in the majority. At that point it will be too late, and the Republic will be over.

Energy & Government Experts: R. James Woolsey previously was the Director of Central Intelligence and the Under-Secretary of the Navy, and pioneer in the clean energy sector; TJ Glauthier [you know] & Donald Kennedy, former head of the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] all on Solazyme's Strategic Advisory Board
But hey, Newt, Inc. hires out as a government expert/ paid adviser..and he's described across the media as on the take.
Your "whole world is an oyster" when the US Government welcomes you into the fold.
