Don't they understand that they let people bitch about the price of gasoline to keep their minds off the multitude of other stealth taxation for enough years that now people think that cheap gasoline is a Right?
They’re going to keep it quiet by blaming it on George Bush and the evil oil companies. A sizable portion of Americans are convinced that’s why gasoline is $4.50 a gallon... and the Democrats don’t need to do a thing, because Americans already believe that.
