Coming up on FOX news channel: '"Right" to Cheap Gas?'
As with their preceding debate "article" on the cost of health care, this upcoming piece is surely more a joke than anything serious...

1. 'Why do we feel we're entitled to cheap gas?'
Asks the announcer.

The guest talks about how it's a bargain right now.

The same people set up the structure that requires excess use of gas. Therefore 'entitlement' isn't entirely a wrong viewpoint.

"We're not entitled to a damn thing" says another guest. (So who's gonna enlist to save his butt?)

"Supply and demand" argument.

Then comes another guest, "Get rid of the country club argument". He's right when he says our government has not invested in our infrastructure. Wow, this one is smart.

Then they talk about how government needs to do something drastic, but won't. So where are the corporations who helped put our country into this mess doing something to undo it?

High gas prices do hurt peoples' disposable incomes.

The tighty righties are talking about the "here and now", but not the future.

All i know is, the truth is in the middle but some of these folks must surely be on drugs. Or make so much money they're not going to care.
