No Stopping Gas Prices?

Okay, it's the New York Sun and all, but name me anyone who's been truthful and/or right lately about it all. We have a president who can't bring himself to say the word recession, a GOP candidate who has the worst economic plan of the three according to an independent government analysis.
I didn't know Mexican supply had fallen off a cliff until I read this. It's short. And bitter. As are we all.

Mr. McCain’s plan would appear to result in the biggest jump in the deficit, independent analyses based on Congressional Budget Office figures suggest. A calculation done by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington found that his tax and budget plans, if enacted as proposed, would add at least $5.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

Fiscal monitors say it is harder to compute the effect of the Democratic candidates’ measures because they are more intricate. They estimate that, even taking into account that there are some differences between the proposals by Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama the impact of either on the deficit would be less than one-third that of the McCain plan.

So McCain's real targets if he's serious about all of this are Social Security and Medicare.
