The GOVERNMENT was still around even if the Democrats weren't in control of its levers of power. Your question betrays an inability to read what's written.

He's not wrong, just incapable of seeing the real problem. Yes, the market dictates high gas prices. No, it doesn't do so without significant "help" from a the nanny state.

Keith -- Whatever. But what does your post above have to do with Lowering Gas Prices. The Dems have always been against Oil & Gas and Nancy Peloski, and Barack Obama are cheering every penny increase daily and Loving it. They say they need more $$$$$ for Roads and Bridges,but they have $$$$$$ for that and are just needlessly spending it on Light Rail, Bike Paths, NOW BIKE BRIDGES, and oh yes

If that's your problem, cnskate, why are you talking? Yes, the market mechanism reflects the regulations put on it by the government that effectively restrict supply. But there's the key: the government (Democrats/liberals) put the regulations and policies in place that yield the elevated prices. In effect, they interfered with the market, resulting in the current situation.Note to Klatu: I hope

funny, if you look at price graphs for the last three years, you will see oil and gas prices doubling from 2004-2007, THEN it was just the market... Now, somehow, its the democrats fault, Isnt it just the market? We love the market as conservatives. Funny how the fake conservatives on here try to make conservatives look bad by being so stupid

One additional thing I learned today by listening to Mark Levin.All These Congressmen, Senators and Representatives alike, get their cars and their lease payments paid for, along with the gasoline those cars use, by the government. Meaning - we pay for their transportation.Is it any wonder that they don't give one solitary damn about the price of fuel when their fuel cost are being paid for by

I see. So, by the act of not extorting money from oil companies, the government is giving money to them. I don't know quite how to respond to that without sounding unkind.Why would it be harmful to national security to adopt a pure market model? With a pure market model, with the govenrment regulations out of the picture, more oil would be produced and more oil products would be produced more

Keith,But the Government DOES have the right and power to TAX Corporations to cover such costs.It does have the power to control the level of tax breaks being given. But since Oil is so critical to both a stable economy and national defense, it could be harmful to national security to adopt a pure market model for the resource.Using military forces to prevent the destruction of this resource is

I'm sure you know that that's not what I meant, Eileen, but congrats on cleverness.Oil is one of those things that the government doesn't need to subsidize because the government doesn't pay for a red cent of the exploration, extraction, transportation, processing, and other various elements of making gasoline. It DOES, however, severely curtail the ability of oil companies to drive costs down by

Keith, I agree we should boot the government out of the oil business.We should stop subsidizing the product, and make the companies pay for the national defense of the resource, and stop any tax subsidies.Then let the price fluctuate based on market forces.I suspect the price would go up (but I am sure you don't agree, and we will never know for sure anyway.)I am guessing that you were NOT (and

Our Republic will be helped if gas prices fall from $3.49 to $2.38 which is where they are coupled with your lowest figure. That's $8.88 a week or $35.52 a month which is abnout 6x your claimed figure. Gas will get cheaper, moreoever, if more of it is put to market which means booting the government out of the oil business. THAT is the fundamental solution.

Mr. WatersYou are so right.. the Democrats have been claiming they will lower prices on everything since 2006.. and the opposite has happened.. they blaim the Republicans but spending has increased and many of the democratic representatives have proposed new taxes on everything.Hillary claimed in September that if she was elected.. gas prices would lower because OPEC would know she would not deal

David, the pandering appears to be on the part of those voted in to take America in "A New Direction."Where is that New Direction? If you haven't noticed, since they gained power in 2006, the economy, gas prices, food prices, you name it, has gotten much worse.Their answer? Raise taxes.

Sure, our Republic is going to be saved if gas prices fall from $2.56/gal to $2.38/gal, for a mere 3 months. Face it: that will make no difference whatsoever. It will save the average American about $1.60/wk, or $6/mth.We're going to turn this situation around on $6/mth.Wake up, people. Gas is not going to get any cheaper, whether there is a small program over the summer or not. This is a (very)
