Energy Secretary Steven Chu (Energy Tax Proponent)
"Yes."
- Answer to the question: "Last September you made a statement that somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe, which at the time exceeded $8.00 a gallon...Doesn't that sound a little bit silly in retrospect for you to say that."
**Of course it sounds "silly." The sad thing is although the above question is telling, it isn't the important question to ask. The important questions to ask are: "Even though you said it was silly to raise gas to over $8.00 a gallon, do you still think it would be a good idea to do so, and do you intend on making policy which will force it to be so?
As nuts as it may sound, I'm afraid Mr. Chu's answer to both would again be "yes."**
