As a supposed capitalist, do you believe that the government is obligated 
to subsidize gasoline at a price you feel comfortable paying?

Shortly before I left California, gasoline was hovering around $4.50/
gallon in 2008, only to fall to nearly half that price after the economic 
collapse (because demand dropped).  Since then, the price has risen to 
nearly that amount, which rightards like you describe as a "doubling" -- 
though in fact it still costs less in nominal and inflation-adjusted 
terms than it cost under Emperor Bush.

A common trait I've noticed between leftards and rightards alike is a 
lack of math skills.  This is why you never see a leftard or rightard who 
is a scientist or engineer -- they all hold degrees in sociology or flat-
earthism, if they hold any degrees at all.  Two and two do NOT make five, 
no matter how big a boner one has for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.

'You are a slow learner, Winston,' said O'Brien gently.

'How can I help it?' he blubbered. 'How can I help seeing what is in 
front of my eyes? Two and two are four.'

'Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. 
Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not 
easy to become sane.'
