According to President Bush who is using the current ruinous spike in gas prices as an opportunity yo roll back regional EPA fuel emissions standards.
This is somehow gonna send regular unleaded crashing back to sixty cents a gallon soonest.
What the President is really saying here is "Let them eat tumors".
After all there is little else he can do, his policy is "Drill, Invade and toss choice cuts out of the public treasury to his monied supporters and sundry praetorians."
The "public good" cannot be allowed to intrude upon such a program.
Meanwhile the usual lackeys of a dying domestic energy extraction industry are reeling to their feet all over DC demanding we drill in Thomas Jefferson's head on Mount Rushmore in a doomed bid to lower the price.
John Kerry is right, we cannot drill our way out of this, baring a miracle, there just isn't enough oil to be pumped out here in North America. No we are gonna have to invent our way out of it, discover new fuels, conserve what we have and do the hard work of changing our sources of energy to something that isn't controlled by Mullahs and the likes of Colonel Khadafi.
Until then, everything is naught but the usual demagogic piffle.
