Pumped-up pandering

Political campaigns and high gas prices are a prescription for pandering. When prices spike at the pump, politicians fill us up with fiscally irresponsible appeals that won’t solve anything. Yes, oil company profits are too high, but the hard truth is high demand is what’s driving up gas prices. The best way to cut costs, globally and personally, is to drive less, increase fuel efficiency, and promote alternative fuels. That’s the message politicians will give the public when they stop pandering and start leading.
