Put on another sweater. Our government is not responsible for the world-wide

the fast and loose devaluing of our money is at least partially from

big oil owns the white house and congress, and were getting screwed

High oil prices IS an energy policy (albeit not a planned one--Bush
isn't responsible for it)
With high oil prices, alternative energy will gain strength.
If oil is cheap, we won't change. I've been advocating $5.00 per
gallon for gas for some years now. However, I would have like to have
seen it gradually, and through taxation, instead of a dollar
devaluation and a rise in world consumption.
