Recently a dear friend of mine, a life-long solid conservative, said that government needs to put a price cap on gasoline.

I immediately reminded him that a price-cap violates all of his long-held beliefs in the free market. He said it didn't matter -- gas was too high.

I think that when some people start to personally "hurt" from the economy, they lose their previous mental discipline and get all squishy/socialist.

Too many Americans are clueless.

That aged dinosauer Warner wants to re-establish the national 55 MPH speed limit as if to say, "There, that'll fix it."
