Issue each citizen a card good for there share of domestic gas. (unleaded, diesel, premium) Current gas card holders would use there current cards.
Domestic gas is local price only, taxed 25% of present tax and priced at low USA price. It cant be sold overseas so the price will remain low. Other restrictions might be needed, that’s for the experts to figure out.
Imported gas is dyed and taxed $4.00 a gallon added to WORLD price.
This way those of us that conserve and help America do not pay for the moron with a hummer that enjoys bowing to Arabs.
You are free to trade your domestic gas points to other card holders. (hence a great $ boost to those with scooters and electric cars)
The infrastructure is there. The old regular – unleaded split. So there is no big investment needed.

Stupid idea.
We should be trying to REDUCE the size, scope and power of the government...not give it the power to decide how much gas you can have or how much you'll pay for it.
There is no extortion, they sell a product at market price to the dealer who retails it at MSRP. It is not the government's "job" to exert authority it doesn't have over markets, and AS A MATTER OF FACT most of the increases in automobile prices come from additional government mandated devices.its the JOB of gov to do what the people need and end extorsion. Like the extorsion of the auto and oil corps.
You do realize there is still a twenty year patent protection in effect on new medicines on the date of filing right? Generics are licensed and that is typically within 5-10 years. That argument is false.Just like Gov ended the "Patent" medicine trade...........
Okay, CEOs set general company policy and direction whereas claims and underwriters accept or decline claims. Thanks to government interference it is now mandatory to buy these health policies. Thank you in advance for conceding that government interference has consequences.Your CEO's control healthcare, and look at the prices we pay for that......NOPE, your CEO running anything is agianst Ameriica.

Heaven forbid I should confuse a medicinal patent with "patent medicine" which you should have put in quotes BTW. Patent medicines aren't all illegal, the difference is they don't fall under FDA laws because they aren't licensed, the only one's illegal had either 1) Harmful side effects shown in a lab or 2) A component which was already an illegal substance such as cocaine, heroine, etc.yes it is the Gov job to prevent extorsion and monopolys....read federal law.
God are you ignorant. here is some help.

Yes, my being FORCED to buy REAL healthcare for $20 month will be SO SO SO terrible! LMAO!

We are in a global market, which is what some are trying hard to not understand. The problem with protectionism is it always comes back to bite you, markets are not static, they are dynamic which means when you screw a trading partner over it will always be remembered and paid back.I don't really understand why the US supply has to be separate from global supply. What would this do besides massively distort the market and satisfy some economically-clueless protectionists?
We'll have to disagree here, with the regulatory climate we have now you are correct, however the gulf region alone has about the oil potential of the U.A.E. and Iran combined, ANWR, or at least the sliver of it desired for drilling has an estimated double to triple the potential of Saudi Arabia, and the west coast has vast reserves. This is before fracking, and Canada is ridiculously oil rich as well, they are a fantastic American ally so I just don't buy the domestic shortage argument from a free market standpoint. Regulatory......different case altogether.US supply is not nearly high enough to meet demand.

I don't think we're far off in the opinion here. I slightly disagree that it's an extreme profit motive simply due to the 8 cents on the dollar actual profit, I blame regulations heavily though. Cali still has tons of shallow water reserves we can't touch due to federal law, so does Fla. actually but I do acknowledge that the La./Tx. reserves are going to have to go further out.I agree that we could produce all our own oil if we had to, but this would take a very long time to meet. At least in the short-term the price of oil would skyrocket without controls. Even with deregulation it would take decades to more than triple our oil production, and this assumes that demand remains the same. We have a ton of oil, but most of the easy to drill stuff was tapped out years ago. Most of the new oil is only exploitable because the big oil companies only thought they could make a profit with high oil prices. They certainly wouldn't do it with $1 a gallon gas.

The biggest difference is the price spikes we currently have. The 8 cent rule is still in effect, but it's taking more dollars to get to the gallon so the 8 cents is multiplied by 3, sometimes four, times national consumption.
This is true. Fracking, getting oil from tar sands, and deepwater drilling are not optimal. However I don't blame prices for the production but rather I blame production of these types on the regulatory nature. Prices spike when inefficiencies exist, because the shallow stuff we still have is not exploitable we have to go to the less optimal system, which then spikes the consumer price. Government could help out quite a bit by getting out of the way.It's not a matter of huge profits. It's a matter of making any profit at all. The United States is awash is oil and other fuels. The problem is that most of the remaining stuff is really hard and expensive to drill out. Oil companies knew this stuff was there, but it would have been more expensive to drill it than what they would have made off it with past prices. When prices rose last decade, it suddenly became profitable to explore things like tar sands.
Under 247's plan anything would be stupid. There would be a total profit elimination in strict land drilling.Under 247's scheme it would be stupid for drillers to exploit these resources.
From what I understand we have at least triple production, where the equation fails is on the refinement end as we are in a refinery shrinkage period. Thus it doesn't matter if we produce or import crude we simply don't have the capacity to meet demand because instead of building more refineries we have to repair and retrofit, or close. Much of that is due to regs.There is a lot of oil, but there are not enough easily exploitable reserves for us to simply triple production. As for exploitable oil, forget Cali. North Dakota has one of the largest deposits of oil on the planet. Of course it's in tar sands, so only recently has it become profitable to exploit.
Obama isn't doing ****. Most of the production is coming from private lands leased out, public lands aren't producing currently.The US's largest export right now is fuel in the form of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Anyone who says Obama is not doing enough to pull oil out of the ground is either ignorant or just likes spewing crap.

Did Bush issue a drilling moratoriam? No, he didn't, Obama bypassed Congress, and the federal courts. You have NO defense for this.Right.. lets play that game.. then everytime on DP that some right wing nutjob says that "Under Bush gas was at $1.xx per gallon, and now under Obama its $4.xx a gallon" and they try to use that as an example of how its Obama's fault, I want you to personally tell them that they are full of ****. Deal?

My thoughts are that Federal taxes should be gradually raised over a period of years to the point where (if this had been done in previous years at the current cost of gas) today's price would be $7 a gallon. People would be buying cars that get great mileage and clamoring for car manufacturers to improve efficiency.
And. I wouldn't have to guess whether the aisle behind me was clear as I tried to see around the big, honkin' SUV sitting next to me.

No, never. Americans should not "share" and be forced to ration, we're not that kind of country.

US oil production is at its highest point since 1998. That only happens because the US gov't has allowed it to. Public or Private, you cannot drill for oil without proper permits.
Big mystery: U.S. oil production hits 14-year high, gas prices not at 14-year low | Grist
You should move over here to europe. You'd LOVE it! Gas prices rape your wallet on a daily basis. (~$8/gal)
