High Gas Prices -- www.NewPlugs.com gets Political



Let's see if I have this right.
The government is giving everyone in America money and calling it a stimulus package in the hope that they'll use it to purchase products in order to spark the economy. Everyone in the U.S. knows the money is going to go toward a bill already owed, or into the bank for a rainy day.
Let me take a swing at this. Lower the cost of fuel, place a cap on fuel costs for a year or two. Regulate the oil companies and place a cap on fuel at $2.50 or less for highest fuel produced. This will not only reduce costs for consumers, it will help spark the nations economy.
Lowering the cost for transportation of products via trucking, which will lower the cost of products sold to the consumer, will get the country rolling again.
Everyone has to use their vehicles in order to get to work and make a living. If we have to save our money just in order to afford putting fuel in our vehicles, we are going to cut costs by giving up the homes we own. You can see this just in the foreclosures around the country. Then we have no choise but to turn around and rent a home or apartment to offset the high cost of fuel.
I believe the reason things have gotten so out of hand is the rising cost of fuel. The government stepped in when Micrsoft was making such a high profit, but won't step in on the oil companies holding the country up over a barrel? Something is not right with this picture. One man makes something great, and the government steps in wanting their cut. Maybe the reason the fuel prices are no big deal is because the government is getting some of the pie.
One more thing: I remember when everyone dreamed of owing their own home. Now everyone dreams of owning a vehicle they can afford.
