5 Ways Government Could Cut Gas Prices Quickly
Investor's Business Daily ^ | Thursday March 8, 2012 | John Merline

When President Obama talks about today's sky-high gasoline prices, he almost always laments that there's little anyone can do in the short term to bring them down.

There is nothing you can do. You now know what the unpardonable sin is.

Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., has offered up a Boutique Fuel Reduction Act that would give the EPA more flexibility to waive these local fuel rules.

The rules need to be abolished. The EPA don't want no stinkin' flexibility to waive them.

P.S. And don’t worry about the double post. I did that once and the five year banishment from FR and the garnishment of my wages flew by in no time.

" .. the five year banishment from FR and the garnishment of my wages flew by in no time."

You got off easy.

Not only was I fined and banished, but some old Amish guy came to my house at night, and pushed his way into my home when I opened the door.

Before I could stop him he'd produced a pair of scissors and snipped off half an eyebrow 'cause I got no beard.

Then he vanished out the door and into the night.

I complained immediately to Jim Robinson, 'n y'know what I was told?


Pure Breitbart;

SO?

Fined, banished, eyebrow snipped, tires deflated, and then they filled my iPod with Obama speeches!
