      Of course, to Obama you only call it a tax if that doesn't hurt its constitutionality

        The same place you got an insinuation that IPU is against the development of alternative energy sources.

          I've never called higher prices a tax. Those were his words.

            As for policies, how about pushing green energy; how about disallowing the Keystone pipeline, etc.
            Yes, Obama needs to give more loans/bailouts to "promising" new green energy companies. That will help offset all this negative press he is getting of these increases in gas "taxes".

              oh, so from his post:

              As for policies, how about pushing green energy;
              he didn't say pushing green energy to the exclusion of fossil fuel energy, just that pushing green energy in policy leads to higher gas prices. that is an extreme.

                Ha, that came out wrong. I meant that HE only calls it a tax if it helps HIM. If it doesn't, then it's simply a fee, like the mandate

                  Are you saying that pushing green energy doesn't lead to high gas prices?

                  I also clarified my position in this post, when you asked if I opposed alternative energy.

                      I'm with IPU on this one.

                      Edit: I can't believe I said that. In fact, I've now said today that I'm with IPU and Rambam. Heaven help me

                        i must have missed the latest piece of legislation subtitled "a means to cripple the economy by establishing energy policies to limit oil/coal energy."

                        yes, i am absolutely saying that. it is not a zero sum game in terms of subsidization, and if anything a stable source of alternative energy shifts demand downward. this is all not to mention the foreign policy question of fossil fuels as well. edit: we're also ignoring the climate change debate; we're understandably hesitant to saddle future generations with a monstrous deficit, but there's an alarmingly large proportion of folks who are willing to do irreversible damage to the world around us.

                          The perception will be that he is fine with high gas prices. The original plan was cap and trade, but this will have the same effect.

Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                            What else could possibly happen to the economy until a viable clean energy exists? It may not be explicitly implied, but it's an inevitable effect to the economy. Gas prices go up and so does the cost of everything else.

                            As for man made global warming, there may be a connection to fossil fuels, but the earth coming out of the ice age is proof that the earth doesn't need man to do anything to make the planet warmer. But global warming is another topic. I'm talking about how Obama's policies have pushed gas prices higher and how his comments about it being like another tax is a result of his own doing. He can't claim to be for lower taxes for everyone but the rich and not try to avoid responsibility for everyone paying more for gas.
