How exactly do republicans think that Obama or Romney can solve high gas prices? What is it they want them to do? Increase subsidies? Decrease subsidies? Decrease taxes? What are your thoughts?
The only way Obama could have any influence is to nationalize the oil companies.
They have been saying they are looking into price gauging, but I have yet to hear any follow up. Facts are that most of the wealthy elites are invested in oil one way or another.
One person claims the problem is spending, not income
Lets go with that. How did Clinton have a surplus and GWB a deficit?What do you believe the money is being spent on? If we look at the last major increase in the deficit? The answer would be under GWB's watch? War, rising oil prices as a result of the war, the STIMULUS PLAN! Why was there a need of a stimulus plan? Maybe because of all the jobs being outsourced and loss of American jobs leading to a recession?
What else is responsible? Lets talk about income. Outsourcing(blaming Bush and Clinton) has reduced jobs and thus income tax for the Gov. Also Bush's tax cuts for the rich has also reduced income for the government, meant on increasing jobs though only resulted in financing the Big corporations move over seas.
It is clear the problem is a little bit of both, but the MAIN problem is income UNLESS you can come up with some figures showing where the mis-allocation of funds are being misspent.
Maybe all the dictators America finances(with tax payer money) world wide for corporate gain(and not Average Americans)?
