$2.50 plus what?

Remember when people who claimed the notion that we were fighting wars over oil was 'conspiracy theory'.

This logo, which Newt Gingrich proudly stands behind at his podium, can be seen as nothing other than a campaign promise to go to war in an attempt to lower gas prices.

The problem of course is, $2.50 plus what?

Who should die so we can fill up our cars for $2.50/gallon?  We don't want it to be anyone we know of course.  Just make sure the people that die aren't anyone we know, okay?

These are the campaign promises that American presidential candidates have resorted to.
