			<description><![CDATA[ In the last 2 or 3 years there have been serious shortfalls in production agriculture all over the world and it has caused the once huge surplus of grain to
fall off to a shortage.   Australia has been in a severe drought for almost 4 years now and it has decimated their wheat and rice crops.  China has seen its
fair share of bad weather as well.  The US wheat production the last 2 years has been atrocious.  It all forms together to form a large shortage.  Also in the
mix is a bevy of hedge... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ but it&#39;s not the right one.  Gas is an almost inelastic good.  People are going to buy it almost  no matter what.  If you are making say (and this is only
an example, i don&#39; t know the real numbers) 2 bucks off of ever gallon of gas you sell at 4 dollars a gallon and you are paying 1 dollar in taxes for every
gallon and it&#39;s costing 1 dollar a gallon to make it.  Why would you lower the price if the taxes were reduced to 50 cents?  People are still going to buy
it for 4 dollars.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don&#39;t want to get into all the other problems with uprooting the income tax, but here is the obvious reason not to do it:
<br>
<br>
It could be a diaster that could potentially bankrupt the whole fucking country.  Securities markets (a huge part of our economy) would have so much
unpredictability that things like mutual funds (you know those things that half the country is invested in) would be put in huge jeopardy.  Agree or disagree
with the principles behind the income tax, if you... ]]></description>

  There isn&#39;t really an easy fix for the gas situation.
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
It&#39;s quite simple.
<br>
<br>
Oil problems:
<br>
Long Term: Continue to explore/develop alternative energy sources
<br>
<br>
Short Term: Build more refineries, drill in Anwar, drill in the Gulf, get the fuck out of the middle east
<br>
<br>
<br>
Other than oil:
<br>
Go back to the gold standard.
<br>
Abolish the Federal Reserve.

Cease and desist all unconsitutional practices including the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 1st of all in our grandchildren&#39;s lifestyle, the traditional production and refinement of oil will be obsolete.
<br>
<br>
As long as companies like Valero and Exxon have muliti- BILLION cash surpluses we will never see any real R/D on alternative fuels.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m guessing the way it will go will be to use the most abundant resource (Hydrogen).
<br>
<br>
But , that&#39;s not happening any time soon. ]]></description>

None of those are easy answers.  Building refinaries and nuclear power plants isn&#39;t an easy fix. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well the correct answer is that it depends, but based upon our simple model of conversation...the simple answer is yes. 
<br>
<br>
By the way Hillary&#39;s gas holiday tax is damn retarded.  All gas holiday taxes are dumb.  God save us from that whore of a bitch.  A gas tax holiday would
increase consumption while supply would remain unchanged.  Gas prices would then be artificially low for X days and then after the gas holiday prices would
reset to higher rates than they were before the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agree.
<br>
<br>
Drill in ANWR! The area in Alaska is about the size of Georgia, maybe a little bigger. The way they drill oil now, would do little to no harm to the area.
Plus, the area that they have to drill would equal about the size of a mid-sized town. Probably about the size of Athens, GA. It may take a while 3-5 years for
that oil to hit the market, but with &#39;new oil&#39; in the future hitting the market, it may help lower prices. That&#39;s one thing the environmental folks
never... ]]></description>
