Dear America, Gas Prices Are Going to Rise No Matter Who Is President of the U.S. [View all]

You can elect Marvin the Martian to be president, and you're still going to pay high prices at the pump. Look at the calendar. It's not 1957 anymore. It's 2012, and you're living in a global economy, and you're competing with billions of people around for oil and gas.

I highly suggest that we start building modern, and sophisticated public transportation systems. High speed rail, hi-tech buses, and other imaginative mass public transportation systems.

I know the suburban sprawl arguments against public transportation. However, you're either going to live closer together and develop better public transportation systems or shut and get use to paying ever increasing higher gas prices.

And, no, voting Republican is not going to fucking cut your gas bill.

That is all.
