Sir, neither the Dems or Repubs are stearing us off this course. If so, we would have a plan in place already. And I disagree with the meltdown and "Depression" analogy. Paying $7 a gallon means Americans adapt, not succomb. We have always found ways to overcome adversity, and if you think "an economic meltdown that makes the Great Depression look like a picnic" is on the way, then you have little faith in Americans and our future.
I am sorry you feel that way, Sir.
