Forget the 70s, this is an entirely different situation. There are war profiteers who are making vast amounts of profit. They promise to plow it back, but you know better. This is like WW11 when rationing was strict and war profiteers were put out of business. Furthermore, many noble americans sacrificed to aid the war effort. Mr Bush asked us to all spend. Then gave a humongous tax break for the wealthy. It will take a long time to develope a clean alternate source of fuel, meanwhile can't we show the same nobility of spirit? Ration by miles per gallon and limits on miles driven. Don't tell me Americans are too soft to sacrifice for the good of the nation. And please, leave the global economy out of things.
