I have the perfect solution. An executive order for a floating assessment on refiners to maintain oil prices at a minimum of $100/bbl. Congress could never agree on such a thing. The charge would be passed on to consumers and the price of gasoline would return to $4/gallon. This assessment money would be dedicated to repair highways and bridges. While the president is writing executive orders, he could write one to lower the national speed limit back to 55 mph. This would not only save millions of lives but it would reduce green house gas emissions and save the planet from global warming, I mean global climate change. This would make the voters so happy that they would surely elect another democrat and continue to save the environment.
