He (and Congress for that matter) could have done something about these
ridiculous gas prices that are destroying our economy, but nobody has done
anything.  After all, there are price controls on many items, so why not
gasoline?

Price controls on many items? I don't think so.

Price controls contributed to the shortages of '74 and '79. We don't
need those.

I am no fan of Pres. Bush nor Congress, but I do not blame them at all
for the gas prices. They had nothing to do with it nor any control
over it. It's not their fault that China and India are booming or
that Americans want big, fat, and heavy vehicles far bigger than they
need for comfortable driving.

Congress should include light trucks outfitted for comfortable
passenger service as part of the gas guzzler tax. People who actually
use pickups or SUVs to do real work don't have interiors fitted with
luxury cloth seats and the like, their tools, work clothes, and gear
would quickly ruin such interiors. What percentage of Toyota Sequoias
are used for real work?
