Where do I start? You are suggesting that we drive the price of gas to $13 a gallon and somehow it would be a good thing? In your lust to lower oil company profits you would decimate the American economy and pretty much insure that 1/3 of Americans would starve to death. Sounds like a good idea.

In my personal opinion, oil costing what it should actually cost would motivate fast-tracking alternative energy sources, which would, I'm hopeful, be better in the long run for our health and environment. I was citing this as an example of liberals being perfectly happy to shrink government- in this case, ending oil and coal subsidites, which would end oil and coal's monopoly on our energy policies. I am presuming, then, that you are content to support the oil industry with your tax dollars?

Again, you need to provide backup if you are going to throw out stats like "1/3 of Americans would starve to death." Please post your sources for those statistics, as I'm sure you wouldn't just make it up, because that would be being very ill-informed, right?
