The cost of boating just went up. Gas hits all-time high.
"John" wrote in message ... "Eisboch" wrote in message . .. Do you know what cracks me up about some of the various views expressed about fuel prices? It wasn't too many years ago that those with more left leaning political views were concerned about the high consumption rate of gasoline in the USA, it's continued supply and it's artificially low price per gallon compared to the rest of the world. Conservation was preached, encouraged and some even advocated raising the price of gas to force further conservation and the use of smaller, fuel efficient autos in order to reduce demand. In Europe where gas is outrageously expensive, it is due to high tax on gas. The high tax funds things like public transportation, conservation, alternative energy, etc. . The Democrats wanted to raise taxes on gas and the republicans screamed and would not agree to it. Now we have the high gas prices but it all goes to big oils bottom line and the America is behind the world in public transportation and alternative energy. Way to go republicans! Bassy, is that you? |
