entitlement mentality means that americans got so use to cheap gasoline in the 1980s and 1990s they think it is their god given right to drive an SUV and fill it up with gasoline that costs less than $1.50.

I love to ask a poll question:

would you give up cheap gasoline or social security?

Americans got so use to cheap gasoline

oh, I love this stuff!! You make it SO easy. Americans buy oil on the very same open markets that everyone else does! They just aren't taxed like you europeans are!

would you give up cheap gasoline or social security?

Social Security, of course! Who wouldn't want to give up a tax? Now, I don't want to see poor elderly people suffer, so I'd make sure that charity got a cut.

"would you give up cheap gasoline or social security?"

Social Security, it's unconstitutional and should be eliminated.

BTW, i'm 67.
