My personal feelings, we should strip the Federal govt. of just about all
power, save keeping up the military. Then, if there are problems, I could
get in the truck and just drive to the state capitol, along with eveyone
else, and get in someone's face if need be. I am afraid that the rural
folks like myself are in for nothing but hard times to come, with all policy
determined by someone in New York City or California.
Yes the price would drop if a democrat would get in the white house as it did when Clinton was in office. He opened the reserves up and it dropped the prices down. As long as we have an oil man in the white house we are going to have outrages gas prices. It is to get to $3.10 before it is to start dropping down.
If you remember a few years ago. they said the price increased so people would use less gas. It worked and people did use less gas. To responed to this the price of gas when up higher because we weren't using enough gas for the oil companies to make their huge profits. It is a catch 22 in the oil business, damned if you do and damned if you don't.
