I'd Rather Pay More for Gas

Apparently, Steve Forbes sees war against Iran as not only inevitable, but necessary to bring down gas prices. From his appearance on Fox News this weekend:

FORBES: Well, it’s interesting. And about $15 a barrel on the price of oil today is worry about Iran, that crisis.

HOST: So, without Iran, the price of oil would be $15 less per barrel is what you’re saying.

FORBES: Yes, it would. There is real uncertainty, huge producer. But the bottom line with Iran is, when we have the confrontation, which we will have, we can really deal with that crisis. Then the price of oil will come down. The longer we let it fester, the higher the price of oil will stay.

Gee, let me think. We can either mortgage our greatgrandchildren's future to pay for a war in Iran (we've already mortgaged the futures of our children and grandchildren) OR we can pay more at the pump.

I'll go with the pump.
