Funny how success = spending Europe certainly couldn't be faltering under the weight of too much taxation, regulation and other government interference.

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

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.

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.
