So apparently an “influential” republican has stated that he would like to set a nation-wide speed limit to $55 (as per http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/03/warner.speed.limit.ap/index.html).
He says this because apparently it will “lower fuel costs”. Let’s do the math. Consumption of less fuel = gas companies make less money = they raise prices. This is the exact reason, that I am a Democrat.
Any other comments?
