The burning issue in Washington today is high gas prices, and it won't go away anytime soon. Americans are not happy about paying $3 per gallon at the pump, and they want something done about it. But price controls won't work, and allegations of price gouging and 'windfall profits' amount to nothing more than congressional grandstanding. No government official or politician is fit to define a 'fair' price for gas or a 'fair' profit for oil companies. This is not the Soviet Union. The last thing we need is centralized government planning when it comes to our precious energy supplies...
