Because to be honest, since when do Americans deserve cheap gas? The rest of the world doesn't. No one does. It's a luxury we've come to accept as something fundamental to our existence.
Also, don't expect the taxes on gas to go down at all, not when they need revenue for the debt that will never be paid off.
Besides, it isn't gas that is going up, it's the dollar that is taking a huge shit. Thanks, inflation (also caused by the ponzi scheme that is the US Federal Reserve and gov't -- Obama had a wonderful hand in that too). Just wait till it really hits over the summer. And if it was gas really going up, well, either way, not saying anything to address it means he doesn't have to talk about the pipeline he canned, the ban on offshore drilling, the capping of wells all over the US, and the billions he gives out to his campaign donor and political friends for bullshit green energy companies with no results.
He just cannot *address* these issues. Literally, we've elected an African style Marxist who behaves with trademark arrogance. I am sure I will labeled racis' for that one.
For now, the likely course of action he'll take will be to just blame the evil oil people, and then release the strategic reserve just before elections. Your average voter/peasant will think he fought for, and won, the lower gas prices and saved them. The gas prices will go back up rapidly shortly after this, but the election may be in his hands and after that he truly doesn't have to give a shit anymore.
Ride a bike from now on. Stuff I would normally drive to do (like groceries for the week, etc), I now figure out how to do on my bike.
It's hovering at $3.68 here.
