If the price of a barrel falls enough to make shale and fracking unprofitable, will the response be a tax on cheap oil, let the market play out, or fracking shale subsidies? Given the chimera of energy independece my money would be on subsidies.

$3.32/ gallon for midgrade here, yesterday.
Mike, you're right about the price and presidential involvement. I knew that and expressed it even when Happy Clown Bush was busy f**king up everything he touched. So, if it goes back up and anyone blames Obama.......I take the gloves off.

No, Europe is faltering under the odiferous stench of moldy cheeses.

I filled up last Wednesday when it was 3.13 (the sign said 312.9), but I refuse to acknowledge their ridiculous tenth of a cent game. The next day it started to drop and it's now down to 2.86.

That's more like it.
I was a bit skeptical over your sudden concern for the poor.

Our gas tax goes nowhere near paying for the negative impacts of the American love affair with Land Yachts.
I'd make these big ass 4X4 pickem up truck and SUV drivers feel some serious pain.
The same goes for Truckers.
It's about time they started paying their own way.

They're gonna fix that problem by extra taxes and fees on electric cars, hybrids, and bicycles that use the roads and don't pay their respective share because they don't buy enough gas.
