People are lazy...
...and they are also greedy. When they say they don't mind that prices go up, what they usually mean is that they don't mind if other people's prices go up. It's no different than the President's gutless tax and health care policies. Everyone is in favor of raising taxes on someone else.
Which, of course, is why it's impossible to take such surveys the lest bit seriously. Again, the only purpose they serve is providing political cover.
As for the President's "policy", I'll just quote he and Secretary Chu directly instead of relying upon the Annenberg Foundation to spin it: "Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."
Hard to take that out of context.
Again, I don't dispute their strategy. It's valid. What disgusts me is their rank dishonesty.
