Bring Back NIXON!!!!

Ok, so I know Nixon is really dead, but this was one Republican that had balls, or at least he used them the right way. So he got caught with his hands in the Watergate break-in, and how many since then have been caught but nothing became of it? Oh yeah, Bill got caught with his pants down, but at least he did it in style, cigar and all. More on Bill at a later post.
What brought Nixon to mind is that in the mid 70’s there was an oil crisis, that is, a shortage.
So Nixon decided to do something drastic, he lowered the speed limit nation wide to 55 mph! Now that took balls. Lowering the speed limit had multiple benefits. First, it saved millions of barrels of oil. Second it saved thousands of lives that needlessly end each year due to high speeds on the highways. But the key here was saving millions of barrels of oil, less demand for crude. So if I remember correctly from my Economics class, less demand creates a greater supply therefore, lowering prices on the open market. What a F%#*ing concept! And we don’t do this now because? Could it be because we have a leader with ties to the rude crude dudes? I was reading an article recently by one of the many statistical wizard’s stating that gasoline is likely to reach $4.00 a gallon by this coming summer. So that means that diesel fuel will be at least fifty cents higher. So anything that is transported by common carrier (18 wheelers) is sure to be more costly. We deserve it! They say that the pen is mightier than the sword so pick up yours and pass your sentiments to someone that can make a difference. In the mean time set your own speed limit to 55, you literally have nothing to loose and a great deal to gain.
