Nice post on the fuel prices. I seem to remember paying the most I ever paid for fuel in my life during the period just prior to the 2000 elections. Does everyone remember how slick willy released some of the National Petroleum Reserves just to help his buddy AlGore out during his campaign?

Anyway since GW has been in office the drop in energy costs alone has the effect of a 5 trillion (or some such) tax cut. I would be willing to endure a short period of time paying such prices again, with the knowledge that there soon will be such a glut of Iraqi oil on the market such as to bring us reduced fuel prices for decades to come.

Thanks for bringing up this little tid-bit of history. Never mentioned, is it? Even Clinton realized that "it's the oil, stupid."
