Higher gasoline prices will be better for everyone? I'm not sure which side of the aisle your on with that comment. At once you are saying let's raise gas prices to their real levels (hurt the poor) while you call the money congress spends the "public wealth"? I'm totally confused.

So while gas prices rose because that was the market at the time, that wasn't okay but if they rise as a direct result of Democratic congressional action, that would be fine by you?

Gasoline prices will not rise by one cent. Only the price paid at the time of purchase will increase when we stop hiding part of that cost like we do now.

Oil and gas on public land is certainly part of the common wealth. Giving it away to the oil companies is not good policy. Tax receipts held by congress is also part of the common wealth. Exempting oil companies from paying like other companies is also not good public policy.
