"Gas Crisis?"

It's NOT a "gas crisis." It's a phony crisis CREATED by liberal "greenies" who will not allow us to drill for oil anywhere run by the United States. They have not allowed us to build a SINGLE gas refinery (except for "corn gas refineries that are being built by the hundreds . . . wonder why?) Maybe it's because they are in support of the "Ethanol fuel" thing, even though it costs more in energy to make it than we would save by using it, plus driving corn prices through the roof. Then there's the fact that the largest part of the extremely high gas prices goes to governments in taxes. Did you know that out of $3.00 a gallon, about $2.00 of that goes to the government at one level or another in taxes without them putting out any money to find and refine it? If they REALLY wanted to bring gas prices down, they'd lower those taxes to a reasonable level. But that will never happen. Don't even suggest it to politicians. they won't even hear you. Notice that the article below talks about taxes on gasoline as "part of the problem" back in 2004, when gas prices weren't nearly as high as they are today. (Lew Rockwell)
