Obama is so dumb...

The tax won't do anything, but carry on to the customers, thus making things worse.

The fact is we are dependent on oil. There is an extremely limited supply, and increasing demand.

Making the price higher won't lower demand much, b/c we NEED to get around.


Better solns:
- fund development of alternate fuels (bioethanol anyone?, most modern cars can run on a mixture of bioethanol and gas)
- tax cuts for low consumption vehicles (How many people drive waaay too big SUVs and trucks in the city?)
- subsidize mass transportation (Almost every highly developed country has high speed railroads, we don't)

You can't solve our dependence of foreign oil overnight.

What Obama is doing is like instead of fixing a broken window on a car, he uses plastic foil and hopes it holds.
