re: #635 ggt

I watched the annual C-SPAN showing of the House hearings on the price of gas a few years ago. I decided the hearings were basically a dog and pony show to satisfy public confusion. It is so complex.

Correct. Which is why I’m very suspicious of any group or politician offering “simple solutions” to just about any issue. Once you start digging the complex inter-relations and add-on effects show up and the so-called “solution” is obviously unworkable. At that point you need to decide what the motive was for the group publicizing that particular approach in the first place.
