How does more expensive energy create more bureaucracy? I can see how it could have the opposite effective of highthief's intentions by making goods cost more and creating an economic slowdown, but I don't follow your logic on bureaucracy. Did the artificial spike of gas prices after Katrina give us some additional bureaucrats that I don't know about? I don't see how raising electric, natural gas and gasoline rates are necessarily going to create additional bureaucracy since the bodies that raise rates are already in place and fully staffed. They have been for decades.

What am I missing?
