Think Clinton's plan to suspend the gas tax temporarily is a bad idea? A similar measure in Illinois -- which Obama backed -- seems to have helped consumers.
  • Spiritguide - What a load of crap

    "The price of gas is determined by supply and demand, those who bid on commodity futures due to world events, and the current value of the dollar." Sure it is. Just like Enron didn't screw with natural gas prices.

    The laws of supply and demand only work in a free economy, and our economy is anything but a free economy. I expect you live in a big city. Because if you don't, how will you absorb fuel costsd like you propose?

    5 or 6 dollar a gallon gas doesn't seem like a problem to you? Wait until you see you food prices, or maybe you won't see any food at all. How long do you think farmers can continue to grow YOUR food at the price of fuel. How long do you think truckers will continue to transport YOUR food at these fuel prices.

    We need a short term solution so that a long term solution can have time to take effect.
