So President Bush has weighed in on soaring gas prices. His ideas?
– Stop adding to the Strategic Oil Reserve
– Encourage DAs to go after price gouging
– Relax environmental regulations
and
– Tell oil companies to build more refineries
None of which even remotely begins to address the real underlying issues — increased demand, reduced supply and price speculation due to global insecurity. (Gee, I wonder why people are feeling so concerned about the global situation. Could it be his warmongering about Iran?)
As usual, a completely incompetent response to a situation his own incompetence helped create.
