I still don’t trust the government though on gasoline- Why would they be advocationg $6.00 a gallon gasoline like obeamer wanted if they don’t profit off it? or had plans to profit like Carbon taxes/fines/mandates? There was also some talk about charging taxes per mile- don’t think that will eve3r happen- but if it does- it will really raise prices- They also seem hell bent on keeping refining companies from being able to create more refineries, and don’t seem to want to allow national drilling for some reason- There is a reason why they are trying t5o make the price of oil rise- they are doing everything I n their power to do so, and if not for theiro wn profit, then for what?

Ah, so now we know the real reason for the petrol price drop. President Jug Ears must be colluding with OPEC and the Saudis.

Statists want the peons OUT of private transportation and INTO public transit.

That’s because private vehicles allow too much “mobility”.

There’s a 40+ year effort by big govt to RAISE the price of vehicles (via thousands of complex regulations) AND the price of fuels with the long term goal of making driving too expensive for the middle class.

Barney: Take some Beano, you old queen. Your sphincter has been stretched so much that they may not even help you. Go back to running your gay bordello in your WDC townhouse, you freak of nature.

No no no Barney, you socialist idiot.

It’s high time to slash the size and scope of the feral gubbamint.

It’s too big, too expensive, too intrusive, too controlling, too OUT of control.

I just listened to a live interview here in Houston with Cheryl Atkinson, the CBS journalist, now whistleblower in regards to CBS and links to the Obozo admin.

Scary scary stuff folks. The criminality from this government and the MS media conspiring to deceive the American people is breathtaking. Scary!

That’s my gut feeling too0- just like other heavy handed regulations like tobacco price increases, they want ot force people out of things by making it too expensive- however, I still feel as though there is a financial incentive for the government forcing high prices on autos and fuels etc- not sure what the incentive is- I think some like gore and others who invested heavily in ‘green alternatives’ are trying to force people in that direction - but I dunno- I’m not really up on all this
