With gasoline prices dropping a full 26 cents from where they were a month ago, a new era of confidence and hope washed over Americans this week, confirming the United States is once again the greatest nation in the world. ...
As news of the 26-cent gas price decline spread across the nation, Americans everywhere expressed deep relief that the difficulties of the past few years—from global climate change, to the debt ceiling debate, to an unemployment rate hovering near 10 percent—had all been utterly negated thanks to the fact that one can now pump fuel into one's car at a somewhat lower price.
That price reduction is eerily similar to the maximum that might be acheived from an "all of the above" U.S. energy policy.
