Bush Admin. vows more gas price hikes

Speaking at a White House dinner honoring oil and gas corporate
executives, President Bush said "It is my pledge to you that this
administration will not rest until gas prices reach $5 a gallon for
consumers".

Excellent! Now all they need to do is raise the minimum age requirement to
receive social security payments to 80 years and with all the surplus cash
we get to blow up another country & rebuild it from scratch & the bonus is
pick an oil exporting country & gas prices double again!

Isn't that exactly what the conservationists have been demanding for
years?

It really wouldn't be that bad a thing to have happen, overall. Well,
except for the total economic collapse of the US. (not that that isn't
already happening) However if we're going to go down that road, let's
make the extra cost via taxes, and use that money to develop alternate
sources of power rather than to invade other countries...

So, you ->really want to give the government even more power to meddle in
the economy? Hoping that there will never be another administration like
this one, or possibly even worse?

That's pretty silly.

Actually, it's a lot worse than silly.

I didn't realize that the government had the aptitude and/or skillset to
do such things. Na, once they get the money it will be used for
anything but...

Usually I don't bother asking for a cite, but I really am curious about
your source for this. Anti-Bushies might take that at face value, but
that's just too easy.

So, where'd it come from?

IIRC, people are doing that now.

I believe that president<at>whitehouse.gov or bushgw<at>whitehouse.gov
would be good starts.

I'm no fan of the sleaze running the whitehouse (or president bush) but
I have to ask: Cite?

While having dinner in the Outhouse, Sgt Bob decided to amuse Usenet
with this creation:
