Reply #2: The whole thing is a sham with both sides playing their part

From what I read today it stated that the Senate Democrats plan calls for cutting oil corporation subsidies 21 billion over the next ten years. At present consumption of 150 billion gallons a YEAR that work out to $0.014 per gallon, a freaking penny and a half per gallon. Gas is almost $4 a gallon and everyone is making a big deal over less than one half of %1 of the cost of gas.

I kind of agree with the one Senator today that said the whole thing was just a dog and pony show, it's theatrics and posturing, nothing will come from it.
