My Solution to Gas Prices...
Ride your bike!
Ok, that doesn't work for some folks who travel too far for work or live in the middle of no where.
But, in reading this article, http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12603847/, it's obvious that our government has no clue what to do. How is a $100 credit going to help anyone? If you drive 10,000 miles a year, that $100 covers you for 1 penny per mile. You call that a solution? Someone's been huffing to many gas fumes!
So, my solution is that we jack up gas prices to say $4 or $5 a gallon and the government saves the excess cash in a fund to offset the future price of gas so that when it gets higher than $4 or $5 a gallon there won't be total anarchy. Oh yeah, and invest the money from the fund in gas futures, if there is such a thing. Or invest in oil companies, they seem to have had a wonderful first quarter, 2006.
There I said it, now rail me for it!
