“No worries, if OPEC takes oil below $60, Obama will write an executive order to raise the gas tax.”
Actually, I’d be in FAVOR of it, but only if:
1. Some was spent on replenishing and expanding the oil reserve.
2. Every remaining nickel went (efficiently) went into roads and infrastructure.
Too bad that the government has proven itself to be absolutely incapable of spending money wisely.
How big do you think it needs to be? Size related to overseas imports? How many days supply from OPEC?
” Every remaining nickel went (efficiently) went into roads and infrastructure.”
The pensions of road construction workers maybe.
I might be convince of going along with your proposal, but we all know that neither of the items you listed would get anything more than token funding.
