First thing I think pres LJ should do is figure out why we have to pay 3.89 cents a gallon for gas... And if gas pricing is so open market then how's come every gas station charges the same price, and the only difference is which town you buy the gas in.
The min. wage is a little less pricing the rising cost of transportation. And I am not driving a windmill powered car. Seeing how that is Obama's answer to everything "We need more Wind energy!"
First, taxes on gas is not the issue. Oil companies are in collusion with those on wall street. That is why events always cause the price to go up IMMEDIATELY, but very few things cause it to go down and it is always SLOW. WE need a split of the major players like was done to IBM years ago. I on my first day of office I would instruct the ATTORNEY GENERAL [front runner is Rocketman] to immediately take legal action to break up these mammoth energy companies. If that won't work I would direct the Joint Chiefs to attack these companies and take over their reserves and have the GAO sell them to the public at discounted rates. Then form smaller companies that compete instead of aide each other.
