I may not know much about our healthcare system other than it's a business that runs just like any other business.... You, on the other had don't seem to know much about anything else. Hey, guess what, I'm all for rolling back, not just this subsidy, I'm for killing them all. In this particular case are you so naive that you don't think that the oil companies would just pass on the additional cost directly to the consumer? If they implemented their plan, the price of oil or gas wouldn't change one iota....... “Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels.” You are aware that the Demorats have been in control of congress for over 2 years now? Where the hell is their big plan. How come the price of gas hasn't dropped under their care?

The completed FTC investigations are all on their site. No price gouging has been found during all of the different investigations that Congress and President Bush asked for. visit ftc.gov and search for price gouging Btw, there is not price gouging going on, despite democrats' accusations. If you have any evidence to support the accusations, I'm sure we would all like to see them. Do you think the democrats are going to do anything about speculators when one of their biggest 527 supporters is a speculator? You keep posting trying to show how bad republicans are, but you might want to consider how much effort you would save knowing democrats are much worse.
