Well, not quite, Bubby-

The root problem is not the current BuShite whipping-boy of gasoline taxes, but of limited petroleum supply, massive over-consumption in the U.S., repeatedly scrapped automobile efficiency standards, limited refining capacity (limited by the oil companies themselves ) and oil company windfall profits & etc.

I think you'd find (should you bother to look, of course) that those you denigrate as "liberals" have been fighting to correct these problems since the gas crisis of the '70s.

And have been opposed all along by persons such as yourself.
