An easy solution for the gas crisis

Somebody submitted this idea in a letter to the editor of The Virginian-Pilot last month and I agree, wholeheartedly…

Tie the price of US food exports to the price of oil.

An export tax is easily implemented by the federal government. And, yes, that will affect non-oil producing countries, but what better way to put international pressure on OPEC?

You can’t grow food in the sand! They have what we need and we have what they need. The single-most significant factor in the current fuel crisis is the fact that OPEC is limiting production.
