Liberal Larry On Gas Prices

Of course, we know we can BlameBush:
Since the day Bush was sElected, rising gas prices resulting from his ties to Big Oil have been a heavy financial burden on working families....

Thankfully, politicians are finally taking steps to punish greedy corporations that profit at the expense of the consumer. In California, wise Democrat leaders are proposing heavy fines on the petroleum companies should their obscene earnings rise any higher. With their costs shooting through the roof, Big Oil would then be forced to lower prices at the pumps. If they took it once(sic) step further and confiscated all of Big Oil’s profits, logic dictates that gas prices would then drop to mere pennies a gallon (plus state and local taxes). Only a Democrat could think up such a brilliant idea. But it’s not rocket science folks. It’s simple economics.

As funny as this is, I'd say the Republicans are giving the Democrats a run for their money in the "brilliant idea" sweepstakes. Placing a higher tax on crude oil inventory is hardly going to encourage a stable supply at the gas pump, now is it? We have two parties competing to originate the dumbest ideas about how not to solve problems while pretending to be doing something.

Comments:
"...and hamburgers are eating people."

Yes, but I don't want to be hamburger-food.

Is it any wonder that most everyone just wants to vote most of them out and start over?
