Americans will save at the pump if Michele Bachmann is elected president, the Minnesota Republican said Tuesday. “The day that the president became president gasoline was $1.79 a gallon. Look at what it is today,” she said at an event in Greenville, S.C.. “Under President Bachmann, you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again. That will happen.” The average price for a gallon of gasoline is currently $3.58 per gallon, according to AAA. Bachmann didn’t detail how she would cut the price of gasoline, which is tied to the global price of oil. She briefly mentioned the prospect of oil shale development in Western states and has been an active proponent of increased domestic oil drilling, including in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Oil shale is only viable when price of oil is high because of high extraction costs. She is smart enough to know better and is just messing with the rubes now.
With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.
Windfall profits tax to reimburse Americans for gas costs (the Palin approach?)

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

obviously it will be a massive conservation effort designed to rapidly scale auto fuel economy and increase use of rail and other forms of mass transit to reduce demand. :-)

Here I thought she was just going to require everybody to go to state fairs, eat the crappy food, and fart into plastic bags. Then we could send all the bags to Marcus and he could convert them into fuel (with a big government subsidy, of course).
And I'm looking forward to it. The Problem: $2 will be the minimum wage and the Civilian Labor Force Particpation Rate will be under 50%.
