~~~GAS PAINS~~~
I drove on vacation and was
suprised to learn the price I had been paying for gas (for the car not
me) was lower than I thought. $2.04 a gallon for the cheap stuff was common
where the Quince family went.
Everybody was wailing like
a pack of wolves for something to be done about this travesty. the greedy
oil companies were at it again. The free-market has failed. Government
must "solve" this problem.(read: "I'm paying more than what I want for
gas and somebody needs to take it in the shorts to make me happy.")
Reality based recommendations
fell on deaf ears. As Ronald Reagan said, "government can't solve the problem
because goverment IS the problem". Government has virtually eliminated
any oil exploration in this country or its territorial waters.
By making more "monuments"
Bill Clinton has single-handedly, through Executive Orders, removed immense
natural resources from the open market thus driving up prices. These are
just two of the many ways government has screwed things up in the area
of energy.
Now the people of this country
are looking to their destroyers to bail them out. Fools. |
