oil prices
robert f asked:


The national, average, oil, price this summer will probably be at least $4.00 per gallon. Do you the presidential candidate’s have any solutions? Time magazine said gas prices will continue to increase until the price becomes so high that investors start invested in alternative forms of energy. After that, gas prices will decrease…
$7.00 per gallon of gas? Wow. If the price of gas is $7.00 per gallon then how I am supposed to afford anything?

      they can encourage policies that reward fuel conservation such as subsidies to American auto manufacturers to develop vehicles with higher gas mileage, alternative fuel R&D, tax credits to consumers who purchase vehicles with higher gas mileage, a luxury tax for new vehicle purchases that don’t meet minimum standards for fuel efficiency.

      Perhaps impose some penalties from exceeding a certain amount. Maybe even increase their taxes. Man, if their profit could be taxed….that could really help the country out of this deficit.
