Government is not the solution. Government is the problem. Looking for someone to blame for high prices. Look to those idiots in Washington. Look to Bill Clinton for vetoing the bill allowing drilling in Alaska, and look to spineless worthless politicians for not over riding him. Look to idiots in Washington for dreaming up all these different "designer blends" of region gasoline formulations which do no demonstrable good, but screw up the supply pipelines and refinery efficiencies when they have to switch over to them. Look to Washington and other government entities that have resulted in no new refineries being built since 1976 in this country.
Whenever government sticks its nose into the market, the market gets distorted and results are predictable. But hey, the Democrats are gonna save us.
God help us!
