That sort of fascism didn't work for Nixon. It lead to gasoline shortages. I'm glad I don't live in Russia. It will be very, evry cold about when they run out of gas.

And 12 cent a gallon gas causes massive shortages in Venezuela? How about that 78 cent per gallon in Kuwait? Perhaps the 38 cents a gallon in Nigeria? See the trend yet?

The fact is, if you have surplus domestic production and export controls, you can restrict gasoline price to whatever you choose and you will not have shortages.

If the United States had suplus production and restricted the price to .50/gallon it'd be all of 3 days before the country stopped moving.
