Prices

<a href="http://www.mtpolitics.net/archives/5374-How-Bout-That-3-Gas,-Huh.html">Craig asks a very good question about gas prices</a>. Why that the Democrats are now in control are we not hearing any noise about the high gas prices like we did before the elections? I see that there is no answer to his question, some comment about gas prices but no answer to why the Democrats aren't fixing the problem like they promised.<br />n<br />nWhat I find even more interesting is the fact that the high gas price <a href="http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4724667.html">hasn't changed Americans behavior</a>.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>As gas prices once again inch toward $3 a gallon, U.S. motorists are reacting with everything from indifference to outrage. But on the whole, they don't appear to be driving any less.<br />n<br />nIn fact, despite a 10-week run-up in pump prices, Americans continue using more gasoline this year than they did in 2006, according to a Department of Energy report last week.</blockquote> <br />n<br />nOverall we are using more gas. Are Americans immune to under $3 gas now or is the economy just that strong that nobody cares? I know I care but I think most people are immune. I do everything I can to cut gas usage and I have done it. I don't know who is using my share of gas but they can have it. <br />n<br />nIt is interesting that there is no more noise about gas prices then there is now. Without the politicians egging on the masses about the situation, it doesn't make news.<br />n<br />n<strong>It's interesting that when economic times were the hardest, that's when many people embraced liberalism.
