Clinton on gas prices of $2 a gallon being unjustified back in 2000....
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/06/2....01/index.html

the rant begins...
That last portion of the post is complete BS that gas companies circulate this every year when consumers ask why prices went up. Seems they don't have the berries to come out and just say, we want to charge more...you'll pay it...so we're charging more.

Just set gas prices at 8.00+ a gallon (that way those in the UK can stop bitch_ng about how the US shouldn't complain) that way those kids driving to the mall will be off the road and the only people you'll see are those going to get food or go to work. Watch how the retail industry goes to sh-t and almost every restaurant has to close its doors do to lack of patronage. Consumers will buy everything via the web but then pay out the rear to have it shipped....the travel industry will grind to a halt and with that..tourism. The US economy grinds to a halt and along with it..the world economy and China becomes the superpower it wanted to be. Then Al Gore will have to convince Beging that pollution is killing the environment.
