Obama is wrong about the gas tax
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.

  • @red_gti2000 A question then, about the free market

    If I remember correctly, you view yourself as a more libertarian kind of guy. Right now, the Market is signalling a rise in petroleum products. In fact, it has been for awhile. Shouldn't we react by altering our lifestyle, instead of trying to alter the price of gas?

    This seems to me a perfect example of market forces leading to local production, and increased conversation. It's also a perfect example of market forces leading to government intervention.
