Following up on my previous post on the issue of high oil prices, I keep hearing the Democrats and Republicans attack each other on the radio every morning on the way to work. The common thread theme they both echo is that the other side “doesn’t have a plan to lower prices in the short term” and “will only work in the long term”. Holy cow! Is this what we’ve come to? A society so obsessed with short term reward that calling someone’s plan a long term idea is a negative? Let me emphasize: We need a long term plan for energy in this country. Our current course of action is headed for long term disaster and all congress can think about is pandering long enough to get reelected in November. Ugh.
