$7/ Gallon Gas?

Barack Obama would have been more honest with the American people if he had campaigned on "hopelessness and change" because that is what is coming our way as our government is planning to rob us blind. Spread the wealth? I don't think so; it's more like spreading poverty.

How does $7/gallon gas sound? Read on, via Red State:

Harvard: Erm, that WH policy means tripling the price of gas.

"But, hey: small price to pay to pander to people’s religious beliefs, right? It’s not like Democratic politicians ever pump their own gas.


'To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

The 14 percent target was set in the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget for fiscal 2010
.'


Ace of Spades Headlines has already used the ‘tar, feathers, and pitchforks’ joke, so let me go to my backup response: if the 111th Congress raises the average price of gas to seven bucks a gallon, the major result will be that the 2010 Election Night map will give the impression that the entire country was dipped in raspberry jam."


Progress a la Obama. Is it time for us to go back to the horse and buggy?

The horse also emits C02, so that won't work either. Humans as well. Maybe we should also tax breathing. Can't be any more stupid than other democrat proposals!!!!!!!
