Hate to be the turd in the punch bowl. But I think this is the worst thing that could happen in the long run. Everyone will forget about alternative sources, and the cycle will continue. Don't get me wrong, I like the low prices, but I hate shipping 700 billion of our money out of the country to our worst enemies.
We have no vision. I'd be willing to pay an extra dollar a gallon, if they'd guarantee it would go directly to reducing the national debt. I know that's wishful thinking, they'd find a way to divert the funds just like everything else.
Oh well, I guess I'll go down to the station and have a good old gas fight (just like in the movie Zoolander).
Rant off
I'm with you there brother.
We'll just go back to our old ways and buy up 13MPG SUVs for daily commuter drivers.
I'm in favor of a $0.50-$1.00 gas tax BUT REGULATE OIL FUTURES so that they can't spike up like they have. Use the tax proceeds for more roads, bridges, and mass transit.
Best way to keep gas prices low is to not use it as much. MOre highways means more efficient ways for our goods via Semi trucks to transport them. A good thing for business.
We're in this together; not just for ourselves. Also, think about your kids' futures.
