It appears we won't be getting $100 from Uncle Sam to compensate us for high gas prices. I thought the idea was beyond half baked; in fact, I thought it all baked. I didn't want to say it at the time it was proposed because I thought Congress might be dumb enough to actually do it. I could have gotten a couple of tickets to the ballgame with that money.

The real issue though with rising energy prices is how working Americans at the low end of the economic scale are going to get back and forth to work without falling even farther behind. In the current system the answer is obvious. They are going to suffer.
