SCUMbria - Re: "Blaming Carter for the inflation of the late 70's isn't realistic." What blatant hypocrisy !! You were all over George W. Bush - like a cheap suit - for the stock market decline within 30 days of his taking office. I sure as hell didn't see you credit the collapse to Sick Slick Clinton - who occupied the "Oral" Office for the previous 8 years. Paul

OT Hi Scumbria, Check this out: I've never seen Senator Boxer (CA) ever say anything politically as strong as what she said about Cheney (below). She generally walks a fine line and seems to be the Dem that negotiates with the Reps. So, this is something else for her to say this: ---------------------------------------------- RE: "Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said she was appalled that President Bush is not ...investigating companies that she said are charging exorbitant prices for electricity. She noted that both Cheney and Bush are former oil company executives. ``It's really rather stunning because those of us who are living through this have suggested many things,'' Boxer told CBS. ``So the vice president sits very coolly, and I admire his cool, but he really sounds like an oil man, not a vice president charged with helping the people.'' dailynews.yahoo.com RE: "Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., said Congress should look into at least temporarily suspending the federal gas tax, which is 18.4 cents per gallon." --------------------------------------------------- The oil industry has wanted the removal of a gas tax for years because it increases gas consumption behavior (and thus increases profits for the oil industry). However, because congressional studies have shown that eliminating a gas tax increases consumption of gas, Congress has not supported the removal of gas tax in the recent past (whether that be Dems or Reps). That it should happen now, when conservation is actually needed not consumption, could appear to be rather ironic. Regards, Amy J
