The reason for high gas prices?
Edited on Thu Jun-19-08 12:11 PM by thewiseguy


None of McCain's offshore drilling bullcrap will help us. The economy is falling apart. Our dollar is becoming worthless. The government probably has to stop printing the dollar bills very soon.

And McCain wants to go ahead and drill offshore to reduce the oil prices. :rofl:

Tell you what when the drilling is complete the oil prices will be so high that driving around is no longer an option.

3. People need to to follow the value of US dollar
Bush has been an absolute disaster for the economy and McCain will make it just worse. Unfortunately there is no quick fix.

2. NYT if they changed the law there would still be no new drilling

a) don't have the rigs to go there

b) there are much larger finds in places like Brazil that are better bets.
