Brain Dead U.S. Oil Policy

Cartoon by Michael Ramirez from Investors.com

The United States has domestic oil reserves that the Democrat controlled Congress continues to prohibit development, drilling and refinement. Why? Because they are placating the environmental activists who are a core of their base, even though it hurts the majority of Americans. Speaker Nancy "I am the most powerful woman in the world" Pelosi promised to do something about the high oil prices in 2006 when gas was something like $2.50 a gallon. One and a half years later gas is $4.00 a gallon and rising.

Let's elect all new representatives who will do something about the price of oil by developing a real energy policy that will work for us. Let's allow drilling domestically, let's build more refineries, let's build nuclear power plants . . .
