Dubya knows his masters

In a free mar­ket econ­omy, prices rise as a result of increas­ing demand or dimin­ish­ing sup­ply. The only way to lower those prices is to either decrease demand or increase sup­ply. Chimpy McA­WOL, who knows who his mas­ters are, takes the only approach he can, try to increase sup­ply. He ignores, or is inca­pable of under­stand­ing, the sig­nif­i­cant delay between allow­ing drilling and arrival at the pump, not to men­tion the envi­ron­men­tal impact of the drilling. Any solu­tion that doesn’t involve decreas­ing demand is doomed to fail­ure. But he won’t be Pres­i­dent (I hope) when it all falls apart, so what does he care?
