who gets the profits from oil on "our" land and who cleans the mess up? Also, the oil co's already have plenty of land to drill on that they're not even utilizing.So, should the president "influence" the price of gasoline? Why? Why not?
Any President should influence the price of gasoline because it has an impact on our economy.
This makes the broader assumption that the President should be responsible for promoting economic growth, one I vehemently disagree with. Our nation is not a business and the President is not our manager.
Why would you be against a President causing lower prices on a necessary evil which helps the economy of the entire nation? When DumBama spent nearly a trillion dollars on the Pork Bill, were you against that as well?
Yes I was.
I'm against that kind of government because I don't think the state should have the power, let alone the responsibility, to make us "better". Instead, it should protect our freedom to decide for ourselves what constitutes "the good life" and pursue it as we see fit.
So do you know any American that doesn't think lower fuel prices benefit themselves yet alone the rest of the country?
This public land is just that--public. That should mean it belongs to all of us. If that is the case, why shouldn't we drill on public lands that have oil in them?
That's not manipulation, that's simply doing the smart thing with our lands.
