Raising prices for car fuel aren’t fun, but they are a signal that you should buy less of it, not that the government should throw more tax money against it to fund this lifestyle, there are more important things the government has to fund.

It’s weird that I have to write things about conscious government spending as a PRO voter 

@smveerman I’m laughing about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It was set up so the military could still fight a war if the oil industry was disrupted, but in practice it’s used to keep voters from getting mad at the government.
