Good, raise taxes if you have to. Until consumption habits are changed, Americans will just continue to sacrifice themselves at the altar of big oil. At least if they raise taxes the money will go towards our own government otherwise profits will just continue to flow overseas. Pay now towards our own country or pay now AND pay later towards someone else's. The issue wasn't fixed by Jimmy Carter's fireside chat and the first oil crisis, hopefully attitudes have changed.

They already went down a little, that's already enough to give consumers the light at the end of the tunnel. But historically, each time gas spikes up ,it goes down a little but never returns to the original price. This will be the same.
