Every time I turn on the radio or watch the news on television these days, I keep hearing how Hillary has a plan to save the taxpayers some money on the high price of gasoline. Obama is also chiming in with his own plan to solve our problem. John McCain is right in the thick of the fray as well declaring a gas tax holiday from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like they should be more concerned with what they will do after they get in office than what they are going to do this summer, because unless I missed something, not one of these wizards of the gas price has any authority to do a damn thing about it this summer! We have 3 Senators running around telling people what they are going to do about the high price of gas and making noises like they are in charge of something.
I don’t know of anything that an individual Senator has ever accomplished especially with the margins being so tight in Washington, and none of them have made it to the Oval Office yet to implement their magic spells over the gas pumps. Since the Democrats gained control of the House and Senate in 2006, they haven’t been able to accomplish anything of note. Gas prices have skyrocketed, as has the price of food. None of the wonderful things Queen Nancy promised would take place under her watch have come to pass. Is she a liar, or just a totally ineffectual Speaker of the House?
These candidates need to tell us what they plan on doing when they are actually in office and shut up about what they are going to do right now, oops what they WOULD do if they had unlimited power and authority to act right now. They sound an awful lot like the little boy who was teasing the dog behind the fence as he walked down the sidewalk then came to the sick realization that the fence didn’t turn the corner when he did.
But, that is just My Arrogant Opinion.
