    It is refreshing to hear someone that has some common sense. This was a well written post.

    What..? ( sweat hog Vinny Barbarino)

    Adding supply to meet demand wil never work. Look at water. we have all the water we could ever use and the costs keep rising..

    I saw this loser on TV speaking about his non-ideas. We need to drill now because we have allowed these Libs to dominate the scene by stopping our production over the last several decades. Drill in the Ocean, the Hills, DRILL THROUGH A CARIBOU'S SKULL IN ALASKA IF YOU HAVE TO. These Libs think it is Ok to pay the stinking Saudis for the oil while they laugh at us and spend the proceeds on support for madrases (schools) bringing up little terrorists that hate us. We are supporting our enemies! DRILL FOR THE DAM OIL YOU FOOLS. GLOBAL WARMING IS ALSO A FARCE. The earth is cooling over the last decade you fools. Dream on about electric cars, etc. The big old SUN heats the earth, not CO2. Co2 would cause the next ice age before it causes the earth to warm.

    How can we expect any Democrat to understand the concept of supply/demand/equilibrium, when they think that a "windfall profits tax" that will increase the company's overhead costs, will somehow lower the price of gas?

    Honestly, though, some of the Dems' "solutions" to the gas price issue seem so completely inane that I'm wondering if they're really more along the lines of Barack's "rail against NAFTA in front of Teamsters, but call Canadian foreign ministers to tell them it's just pandering" strategy. I.e., it's just a populist talking point that wins the votes of people who don't think too deeply about the economics of the matter, but like the sound of a greener energy policy or "punishing" greedy oil companies.

    I mean really, anyone who thinks deeper than the soundbite has probably already made up their mind which candidate is going to be receiving their vote. Right?

    But if that hunch is right, will it benefit or hurt Obama? I honestly can think of good arguments both ways...

    Liberal =Marxist = Progressive = Socialist

    if they understood supply vs demand economics, they could not be liberal. They have no God but government so for them supply and demand is a myth. Government does it.
