Fuel economy

So now the Bush Administration is solving our fuel problem with building more refineries here in the U.S.
Why not impose a serious increase on the Automobile industry by raising the C.A.F.E. standard? Why must we always be given a "long-term" solution? Here is a link to a '.gov' website with some helpful information on the standard:

Another '.gov' site with good and bad vehicle fuel efficiency is:

Americans deserve a solution now. Not some bogus promise to ease the problem eventually.

Meeting with the Saudis

Does the Bush Administration truly believe the American working class will be convinced by this feeble attempt to curtail fuel prices by meeting with a billionaire Crown Prince and pressing palms? As reported in the Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/26/international/middleeast/26prexy.html?hp&ex=1114574400&en=707584f1f0905a2e&ei=5094&partner=homepage
What a joke.
