    I wonder how those prices would pan out with state and local taxes not in consideration.

    In Massachusetts the total tax on a gallon of gas is roughly 45 cents a gallon, so about 10%.

    Or 8000% if you use Trump's patented method of calculation. If it wasn't for the tax they'd be giving you money and quite possibly an adult massage whilst you filled your car.

                  Increase the debt for 6 months to get past the midterms. That's practically.. Democratic.

                    Probably better than depleting the strategic petroleum reserve.

                    And to your question, no. Why should there be any shame associated with lowering taxes?

                    I love you long time.

                            Maybe I'm a Cool-Ade drinker but I believe those Iranian Ayatollah are BS crazy and they will destroy the world if they aren't stopped. I think Trump's doing the right thing--not perfect and in his own self serving way. (And in this case--mostly I think he's a psychopath.) But in the end he's making the world a better and safer place.

                                  The concept is fine. I think it's fair to say that the implementation has been rather eccentric.

                                      Indeed. Despite all media appearances promoting Teddy Roosevelt in the starring role, it would seem that in reality George B. McClellan is both Producer and Director of the show.
