Gas prices down three cents in Western Pa.

Great. That will save me about $1.20 a month.

Gas in Ohio is $2.32/gal.

Gas in Knoxville, Tennessee is $2.21 gallon.

Gas prices are too damn LOW!!!

According to the energy economist Phil Verleger, a $1 tax on gasoline and diesel fuel would raise about $140 billion a year. If I had that money, I’d devote 45 cents of each dollar to pay down the deficit and satisfy the debt hawks, 45 cents to pay for new health care and 10 cents to cushion the burden of such a tax on the poor and on those who need to drive long distances.

Such a tax would make our economy healthier by reducing the deficit, by stimulating the renewable energy industry, by strengthening the dollar through shrinking oil imports and by helping to shift the burden of health care away from business to government so our companies can compete better globally. Such a tax would make our population healthier by expanding health care and reducing emissions. Such a tax would make our national-security healthier by shrinking our dependence on oil from countries that have drawn a bull’s-eye on our backs and by increasing our leverage over petro-dictators, like those in Iran, Russia and Venezuela, through shrinking their oil incomes.

The gov would never use that tax to reduce the deficit. As usual they would use it for some other of their pet projects or line their own pockets. I don't trust any politican. Their past behavior is an indication of their future behavior.
