Nah, he's too easy a target I is not THAT much of a simpleton. But since you called my bluff...

The environmental law blame is catagorically incorrect. In the short term environmental laws would have caused higher prices. However, if stricter standards on consumption and such that envirnmental wackos called for 30 years ago were implemented we would have had price stability, more efficiency so less demand and greater supply. Markets kinda like stability. In the long run it woulda been pretty close to even on a cost. But you can't explain that, so thats why the markets have to take care of it as we will see in the next few years. Oh we would also spend a bit less on health care if the wackos had there way. But yeah its not Bushes fault. I think I am in the wrong forum...

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
