As expected, Bush has announced his intention to reduce gas prices this summer. This is perhaps the most obvious example of his loose grip on reality.

Three dollars may seem like a lot to most drivers, but it is nothing compared to what is inevitably coming down the line, whether it begins this summer, or summer ten years from now.

Oil resources, no matter how many new areas engineers say they have discovered, are not infinite. When they run out, we won’t experience it as a sudden last drop in the tank at the gas station...

The first thing that will occur is what is happening now, a slow rise in gas prices that gains momentum as it rises. These early price increases would be our cushion, a time when people can respond by getting rid of their cars and adjusting their lives. Also, localities can build infrastructure to match the trends.

If you remove the cushion you ensure total chaos. This man is an idiot.
