Actually they want to tax you for the miles you drive, and top of the tax they have on gas.
Aside from that, reducing non-safety regs will lower the cost of doing biz that can lead to a lower cost of oil.
Of course he can stop causing the suffering of some unemployed workers by allowing companies to drill for more oil. More oil leads to lower prices.
but that is not the plan. The plan is to make it worse and worse knowing full well all the "green" crap of his is too far off to be a legit source.
There isn't a single thing there^ that's true.
You live in a news free zone, don't you?
The government has a problem with your new, high-mileage, low-pollution car: you arent paying enough in gas taxes to keep up the federal highway system. Recently, at Congresss behest, the Congressional Budget Office studied another way to raise money; charge drivers per mile driven, rather than (or in addition to) taxing your gas.
The Vehicle Mileage Tax (VMT) is meant to directly reflect some of the costs of maintaining the highways that are not a direct consequence of the gas you burn; road damage (mostly thanks to semis), noise, accidents and road congestion.
Sound absurd? Actually, a form of VMT is in place on the nations toll roads already, and several countries are charging trucks by the mileage traveled. The technology to track where you drive and how far is now available, as well, combining things like the E-ZPass with GPS and wireless networking.

And how would you raise the revenue needed to maintain our system of roads/highways/bridges?[/QUOTE
NYJERK,
Using the PROFITS by the $ TRILLIONS that the fucking Arabs get from us plus the BILLIONS that the Huge Corporations like GM & GE get as taxless windfalls for subsidizing the election of the MONUMENTAL FRAUD, Pathological LIAR, and Stone Cold MuslimArselicking MARXIST Obami Salaami.
What do you want big government to do about gas prices? Regulate supply and demand? At least the Republicans on board will come on against this.
The thing to do IS to use more efficient vehicles for our daily commutes. Probably no need to force you to buy American, but get some fuel efficient car for non HD use. If everyone, enough people do, demand for fuel will go down and so will prices. Capitalism.
Thanks to the emerging markets in China and the rest of the world I doubt fuel prices will ever hit $1 a gallon again.
Think of it this way. If my 98 MarkVIII got better fuel economy than my 89 Toronado I would be using less fuel now. Apply that to the country on the whole and prices would go down. Obviously if I am driving a 280HP vehicle where a 160HP vehicle used to do I could be doing my part too.
I'm back to siding with you Rambunctious, I want big government to raise the CAFE standards even more to help us support the troops and ourselves.
ToroIDIOTO,
What must the Govt do, you fucking idiot ????
Answer: LET LOOSE THE PERMITS FOR ON-SHORE & OFF-SHORE DRILLING, THAT ARE ALMOST TOTALLY, IF NOT TOTALLY, DENIED ACROSS OUR NATION WHICH IS ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST NATIONS ON EARTH AS FAR AS ENERGY IS CONCERNED !!!
PLUS..... SUPER-SAFELY CONSTRUCTED NUCLEAR PLANTS ON THE EAST COAST WHERE EARTHQUAKES ARE UNHEARD OF !!!!
THAT !!!!! .......IS WHAT THE OBAMARRHOIDAL FUCKING GOVT SHOULD DO INSTEAD OF FORCING US TO BE DEPENDENT ON OILY SHEIKS AND ENEMIES OF AMERICA ..... INCLUDING HUGO CHAVEZ.
Our MONUMENTAL FRAUD, the Pathological LIAR, and Stone Cold MARXIST Obami Salaami is not ONLY an INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT being an ex-"COMMUNITY ORGANIZER" from ACORN.....he is a fucking IDIOT using SPAIN'S "GREEN ENERGY" SYSTEM as a MODEL WHICH COLLAPSED SPAIN INTO A STATE OF BANKRUPTCY .....and the idiot is PERSISTING with that almost EXCLUSIVE "GREENERY MODEL" !!!
This EXCLUSIVE Obamarrhoidal "GREENERY" BULLSHIT IS ANOTHER AVENUE DRIVING OUR NATION INTO BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY BILL !!!!!

Mr President,
I need to drive a truck for my construction business, can you and the government do something about gas prices?
F you cracker, you need to buy a new electric car sold by my eeerrrrr General Motors. It will only set you back about $40,000 unless you want air conditioning.

The government can effect prices in many ways. Here are three ideas:
1) Open up more areas, esp off shore to drilling.
2) Relax stupid regulations on what can and cannot be blended into gasoline. The ethanol directive has added significantly to the cost of gas.
3) Defend the value of the U.S. dollar. Since oil is traded in dollars, when the dollar is weak oil prices go up.
Of course the Obamarrhoidal Lib-tards will scream about the environment. Fuck them. There has been little positive effect on the environment from all these laws.
What is Obama's policy? "I've got mine, everyone else can just eat arugula."
The only "gas policy" DingleBarry has is the stank he squeezes out after munching on ribs.
He just promised Brazil $Millions in American Taxpayer cash so they can drill for Oil. Man,what a shitty Anti-American thing to do. Him and his sycophants sit around whining about the "Evil" American Oil companies but they have no problem giving $Millions in American Taxpayer cash to Brazilian Oil companies. I really do think there is something to many people calling this President Anti-American. People better get out and Vote in 2012. Real change can happen. Come on 2012!

US oil production last year rose to its highest level in almost a decade .
As a result, analysts believe the US was the largest contributor to the increase in global oil supplies last year over 2009, and is on track to increase domestic production by 25 per cent by the second half of the decade.
Domestic oil production is soaring, but so are global prices. It should be obvious that yet more drilling cant have any significant impact on oil prices particularly since the U.S. Energy Information Administration has been making that precise point for years now (see EIA: Full offshore drilling will not lower gasoline prices at all in 2020 and only 3 cents in 2030!).
Drill, baby, drill fails: Oil prices soar in spite of sharp increase in U.S. production under Obama « Climate Progress

Accusing the President of being gassy is bigotry?????? LMFAO!! The liberal white guilt strikes again! Hey take your bigotry harp and shove it. It doesn't play here .. GET A NEW FUCKIN LINE.
I want them to open more drilling in the USA. Increase the supply that is already here.
Increasing production at home will only help a bit, and it is only a short term solution. Most of our remaining reserves will be very expensive to draw from which will just bump prices even higher. It would help some though, but it is not the golden egg you may hope it to be. Our largest reserves are in shale, and as of yet, they haven't figured out a way to get the oil out in a cost effective way or an environmentally effective way. If they ever do figure it out, we have more oil than the rest of the world combined, but I wouldn't count on that at this point.
As much as it hurts, with oil prices going up, other forms of energy will become less expensive comparatively and eventually may actually bring down the prices of those alternatives.
Do not see in my comment where I mentioned a "golden egg". I was speaking mainly of the gulf where much of the production was suspended after the BP rig explosion. Every couple of years we hear the "experts" state that it will take at least 2 years to get the oil out of the ground and into production. This game has been going on for years and we have passed the 2 year mark many times over.
The environmental crowd are not helping the cause either as they want to engineer us into other energy choices now. While I don't disagree with that stance for the most part, there is simply not a viable alternative to oil in the immediate future. The question I always ask when it comes to electric cars is, what energy source is used to charge the batteries. The answer is mainly coal fired plants which the enviros and Obama (in his own words) want to cripple. We need to get realistic with the future of energy, not just what is politically correct.
Giving Brazil $Millions in American Tax Dollars to drill for Oil is absolutely ludicrous and even a bit Anti-American.

Strike a nerve did I?
You're so transparent it's laughable.
What makes you think I'm a cracker? can you see me? well #1 increase supply of oil, coal, wind, sun, and whatever else powers this nation. He can stop demonizing big business like the oil industry and work with them rather than against them.
I find it strange that "progressives" want nothing to do with progress. I'm fortunate to be able to buy gas on base. Right outside the gate I can see a sign $4.25 per gallon. To bad Bush ain't president or the media would be backing the people instead of backing Obama.
And another thing: How dare you libs sit quietly while democrat politicians bash an entire group of American people.
The Tea Party are a group of concerned citizens who help pay the salaries of these politicians and then have to hear Reid and his minions bash them and their beliefs.
And the libs say nothing, and the state run media say nothing.
Disgusting.
Consider the high prices the market's way of telling us we're using too much of it. POTUS doesn't personally go to gas stations and change the prices with that giant suction cup himself, you know.
No, all he does is revoke drilling licenses, make Executive Orders to change EPA regulations and susidize the oil companies in other countries after he has shut ours down.
