[QUOTE="brett636, post: 311649, member: 249"] Its funny how you are using two somewhat different subjects to lay a hit on George Bush. Just to let you know the cost of fuel is mostly out of the President's hands. I believe his point about the tax cuts is that if they do expire it will make it harder for the average joe to afford fuel when they are paying more in taxes. An average family of four making $50k/yr.will have to pay an extra $2k/yr in taxes if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire. That money could be used to buy a lot of gas for that family, but the democrats say they need it instead. There are a few ways to help bring the cost of fuel down, but the far left will not hear it. [LIST] [*]We need to be allowed to drill off of the coast of Florida. Cuba is already doing this, but as soon as an American company asks for permission to do so they are denied because far left environmentalists won't stand for it. [*]We also need to start drilling in ANWR. If we do not allow ourselves to use our own oil reserves we will not have any power to bring down the high cost of oil which is help increase the rise in fuel. [*]We need to loosen regulations on gasoline formulation. Just about every state has its own formulation for gasoline. This causes the refineries to produce 50 different kinds of gas which brings the cost up. If we set a national formulation for gasoline it would help bring the cost down significantly. [*]Finally, regulations on refineries need to be loosened so that more refineries can be built. Currently our country's last refinery was built in 1976, and demand for fuel has risen steadily since then. This is causing a severe strain on our current refinery system as when one refinery goes down for maintenance, or due to a fire or explosion we, see a sharp rise in fuel costs due to it. [/LIST] If you truly want a group or person to blame for the sharp rise in gasoline prices you only need to look at yourself and the party you support. [/QUOTE]
