So it turns out that it only took 7.5 years, but I finally agree with Bush about something. Basically, Congress voted to stop filling the strategic petroleum reserve in an effort to lower gas prices. Bush is opposed, because he doesn’t believe it would affect oil prices, and he thinks national security is more important.
Now, granted, Bush has taken ‘national security’ to the extreme in his tenure as president, but I think he’s right about this one. Yes, gas is expensive, and it pisses me off. I just don’t think this is the right move. Overzealous military man or not, he’s right that we shouldn’t put ourselves at risk (however small) over this. I also don’t personally believe that this will affect oil prices in the least.
