    It’s a bad move, even on a temporary short-term basis. In the short run the amount of oil available will be the same, the amount of oil products people want will be the same, and thus the amount of “price rationing” required and therefore the price will be the same, whether the money goes to the federal government or to the oil companies.

      yeah but it takes crosshairs off him so ya know… bandaids for all. you’ll just be required to pay extra for those bandaids later since they will jack taxes on everything to recoup the lost income
