Hypothetical Television Statement by President Bush:

The White House
Today

My Fellow Americans! I have noticed with great alarm the recent, unjustifiable trend towards drasticlly higher Gasoline prices. This is a very serious economic problem for this great country. In as much as neither myself nor my advisors can discover any reasonable cause for this new trend, I have resolved that the full weight and power of the United States Government should be brought to bear upon this unfortunate recent developement!

In as much as the petroleum industry appears to have no reason to provide fuels for American automobiles at reasonable market prices, or else they feal unable to do so, I propose that the United SAtates Government provide financial support for rapid introduction of economicly priced, fuel cell technology and that this alternative technology should be available and installed in American automobiles not later than June 1, 2008!

Additionally, having noted the failure of the petroleum industry to provide fuels at competitive prices, this new technology and alternative fuel system should be sold OUTSIDE of the existing retail system!

Provision for competition has always been the hallmark of the American way of doing things. Americans have always disliked monopolies. While the existing Petroleum industry cannot be called a "monopoly" dominated by any one individual company, taken as a whole, they have stiffled competition, discouraged developement of alternative resources not wholly owned and controlled by themselves, and indeed, in many, many markets, thier pricing tends to be by mutual agreement! This too, shall now recieve the scrutiny of the Justice department as well!

I feel that these measures will only mark the beginning of your government's efforts to ensure that our American economic recovery and well being are not jeapardized by the efforts of one industry!

I will be making further announcements, with greater details in the near future!

Thankyou, and Good Night!

>>>If you were to see the above announcement, I'd just bet that fuel prices would be tumbling before morning<<<
