The consequence of the clinton's/gore "is" the trickle down energy crisis we
are living in today. clinton's legacy lives on.
2002 for the GOP? No sweat.

For starters, the so called "strategic oil reserve" is for military
purposes and would do very little to effect the supply/demand
equation.
Secondly, Clinton, Gore, or and other politician will ever have any
long term effect on the per capita consumption of hydrocarbon fuels in
this country unless taxes are imposed at a rate that would
meaningfully reduce our rate of consumption.
Thirdly, no politician in his/her right mind would ever impose such
taxes and expect to remain in office.
That leaves one explanation/solution to our little problem of
consuming over twice the fuels we can domestically produce.
Guess what? Energy prices are going to rise, and rise rapidly over
the near term. Ah yes, I seem to remember, lets see, it was back in
the 70's. Gas lines, higher fuel prices, and oh yes, fuel efficient
cars began to roll off the assembly lines.
How quickly we forget.

No kidding, Slick Willy listened to no council and did it any way for the
impressionism. It's not the result he was after, it was the impression he
cares and to tweak the adults.

Which would further constrict the economybecause of the trickle-down effect
on the cost of living. It was announced yesterday that meat prices are going
up 3% due to higher fuel costs.

clinton's/gore raised the tax on gas the year he took office.

Help "is" on its way.

I don't think so, the public will remember what clinton and the DNC did to
America.
