For our true prices, one must add the billions in tax breaks we  
furnish to oil companies and the trillions we spend defending and  
arming [invading] the Middle East. Those are costs that consumers pay  
whether they go to the pump or not. They are cost my grandchildren  
will be paying

But, I'm sure EXXON will cut us a break though, as soon as we have  
gotten their oil back from Iraq.
