what's the one major city we lost? the only thing i can think of would be New Orleans, and i dont see how that was Bush's fault. Maybe the evacuation and support after the hurricane yes...but the actual hurricane? No. Help me out here.

The President has no business interfering with oil prices.

if oil companies won't do it...then who will?

so what can the president do to lower your gas bill? press the magic "lower the gas price" button?

you whined about the president getting into international problems in the largest oil producing area on the planet, and then complained about oil problems, which do you want? you can't have both.

democrats = professional complainers

Repeal or lower the federal gasoline tax. I forgot what it is per gallon, somewhere around 39 cents. For a nation collectively struggling to get by due in part to the (relatively) sudden dollar/gallon gasoline price hike, it would help a lot. Of course the government actually helping out its citizens is a pipe dream. Something tells me they could easily repeal the gas tax and still operate effectively if they learned how to manage their budget. Unfortunately, they often squander their money on useless studies and other worthless endeavours.

I see it like this: I make around $2k a month. After taking out for tax withholdings, rent, bills, etc, I sure as hell don't have enough left over to go out every night and drink Dom Perignon. I have to budget my money. It's unfortunate that in a time of crisis (with increasing taxes, gas prices, and the current state of the economy, I'll call this a crisis for argument's sake), our government is pissing away our tax dollars on things like "Do men or women talk more?" studies and $10 million a year for the Worldwide Toilet Conference.

Repeal the gasoline tax, cut the price/gallon by 40 cents, and make up for the deficit by cutting down on unneeded programs and studies.

Who gets to decide what is and isn't a worthwhile study/endeavor? I bet the conductors of those studies found them worthwhile.

well and it's not like it's

federal money -> stupid study

it's more like

federal money -> state -> UT -> UT bureacracy -> blah -> blah -> blah -> psycology dept -> professor
