But that is the simplicity of the argument that politicians make and that people buy into. No one takes into account the global impact of oil prices. This is evidenced by every car company in American scraping to make their cars one MPG more efficient than the other. Most consumers don't take into account that the difference in fuel costs at that level are negligible. I truly believe that no one takes their expenditures on fuel into account when they make decisions regarding fuel efficient automobiles. They just see "ohh this will be cheaper" and go with it. That's why we have people driving Smart Cars when they could be driving a Golf Diesel or a Fiesta, which are infinitely more practical. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=32172&id=31578&id=31656 It's the same reason people sh*t a brick when prices go up $0.75 cents a gallon and then it's "don't elect this guy, he's gonna take your gas money!" If the big picture mattered, we wouldn't be having these discussions.

I love how gas prices are such a crisis to people. If you drive 10,000 miles a year, and have a car that gets reasonable mileage, say 19mpg, gas at $3.75 makes your yearly payment about $2,000. When you put gas up to $5.00 per gallon, your expense goes up to about $2,600. That's what, two paychecks on a $12/hr salary? I pay $285/mo to Healthy NY for health care that I don't need because there is nothing wrong with me because I'm a healthy 25 year old man. That's $3,400 a year. If our government provided cheaper healthcare, no one would care about gas prices. But it's easier to point fingers over something that is the least of an average American's yearly expenses, and also the expense the government has the least power to control.

That would be the main ingredient in Super Narco-State. Just add cocaine. Could you imagine that? A bunch of angry American ex-cons who want to get back at the US employed by the Mexican drug cartels and the Mexican government? Santa Anna would finally get his revenge.

I would suggest everyone go out and buy the book Borderlands by Derek Lundy. http://www.amazon.com/Borderlands-Riding-America-Derek-Lundy/dp/0307398633/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335297477&sr=1-7

If I had known about this craziness beforehand I would never have gotten into it with him on SabreSpace. I almost feel bad now.
