the way to encourage conservation is not to ban suv's or anything of the sort. the simple solution is for the president to go pay another visit to mr fox down in mexico. make room, we have five million mexicans who somehow took a wrong turn so we are sending them back home. of course we all know what mr fox's agenda is, so he will surely threaten to publicly criticize bush for merely enforcing the law. at that point the president should remind mr fox that mexico conspired with opec to drive up the price of oil a few years back, even after americans put together a $50 billion bailout package for mexico. if mr fox doesn't agree to take back his compatriots who unlawfully broke into our country, the president should slap a 10% tariff on all mexican oil imports. let's see what mr fox has to say about that.

of course our next visit will be to our pals over there in kuwait. the country who also conspires with opec to drive up oil prices even as their defense came at the cost of american blood and american tax dollars. by the time the president pays a visit to saudi arabia i think they will get the picture that we mean business.

of course the president should make it clear to the public that all revenues generated from the import tariffs will be matched with corresponding income and corporate tax cuts across the board.

the tariffs on foreign oil will encourage conservation and domestic exploration for oil, lessen our reliance on foreign sources, and demonstrate that america can play hardball with our trading partners too. if anyone over in europe or the middle east tries to squawk about retaliation or trade wars, so be it. if they want to play chicken, out come tens of thousands of US troops they rely on for defense. reassignment boys, we've got a job for you back here at home near the mexican border!
