The idea is a plausible one to persue. Some one once said we don't get a free lunch. If it does transpire what are the consequencies? However, a resolution should start at home.

I am an advocate of the Keynesian theory by John Maynard Keynes, which states: Maintain high employment, control inflation by varying interest rates, tax rates, and pubic spending.

More specifically, it is public knowledge that the major Oil companies are experiencing record profits, even though the price of oil has continued to rise.

It is further understood that drilling for more oil requires an enormous effort in time and cost.

As a suggestion, and still maintain a profit, it is recommended that the CEO's, and stock holders divert some of that profit to the end users at the pump, to help the economy.

Also after further research, and the data becomes indisputable, I plan to send that data to Federal, state, and local to reconsider the use of ethynol derived from corn which is not as efficient as susgar cane, nor is it as efficient as gasoline.
