Default A TRUE economic stimulus

Do the calculation yourself and you will find that the drop of gas
from $4.00 to now $1.85/gal will save the USA about $500 billion over
a year. This is real money, not some government sleight of hand
accounting or taking money from our great grandchildren. The real way
to stimulate the economy is obvious, DRILL NOW. Of course, the Dems
have no real interest in helping average Joe American, they just want
to concentrate power in their hands. The appointment of Clueless
Caroline is obvious evidence that their interests lie with the moneyed
elite class and they will ignore the good of the rest of us. They will
not approve new offshore drilling.



When would the production from new drilling have a significant impact on the
price? I honestly don't know the answer, but I'm sure you have the number
handy.

And, prove that speculators wouldn't jack up the price of that new oil so it
was just as expensive as oil was a year ago.



You want to continue sending your money to the middle east?
