$4.00 Gas?
Bush: "I hadn't heard that"

Gas hit $4.00 per gallon nationally this week. Looking at the big picture, I don't think that is a bad thing, because it makes us conserve. (Hence the plunging sales of gas guzzling trucks.) Of course, I'd rather that $1-2.00 of that price be going to the government in the form of a gas tax that pays for roads, bridges and conversion to noncarbonbased energy. Nevertheless, the people are up in arms, which makes it reassuring to know that our fearless leader is on top of things.
