"See, it's an addiction. That means we really want it. Heh-heh-heh." - George Bush explaining oil policy.

The Heart of the Matter: Money for Our Oil Fix:

"It was only a few days ago that oil hit 75$ a barrel, and now Senate Republicans -- Republicans, remember, the champions of the free market, the ones who don't want to increase pump taxes because doing so would distort market forces -- want to give taxpayers a $100 rebate to buy gasoline.

It's all doubly strange because the president noted in his State of the Union speech that Americans are addicted to oil, and reiterated the 'addiction' word just yesterday. And now Congress wants to cure the addiction by... well, by giving us money to buy a fix."
