Don't Blame Me for $4 Gas

Short sighted congress

Drilling for oil and gas in "sensitive" areas is only part of a long term solution to dependence on foreign oil. Our congress has kow-towed to special interest groups

and had they allowed such drilling years ago we might not be paying $4.25 for gasoline. This, more than not giving a gas rebate, places the blame squarely on the government.

The broad perspective is too little supply for too much population over time.

Other perspectives depend on personal selfishness--how much to leave for future generations mainly.

I want a Chevy Volt (2010) to stick it to the oil companies.

Calls to mind a parent (gov't) with a diabetic child (American public) rolling through the check out, past the rack of candy (oil), at the supermarket. Child throws a tantrum demanding a candy bar and parent replies: "Whatever your little heart wants . . . . all I want is what is best for you . . ."

Maybe a parenting class is in order.

Makes some valid points. A 55 mile speed limit would help but Americans vote that

down. Can't stand any inconvience.
