Well when the environmentalists pull up to the pump with their little Volvo's plastered with left-wing stickers, they too will be paying over $3 a gallon.
The point is Washington must act now before this thing becomes worse. The hurricane season has a few months to destroy more cities.
Of course, but drilling in the ANWR is a long term solution. In the short term, we'll all still be paying $3 a gallon at the pump tomorrow and next week. Had the drilling started a decade ago in the Clinton administration, we wouldn't be talking about $3 gasoline today. But, since Democrats don't like capitalism and the free markets and energy alternatives such as domestic oil production, clean coal, and ramping up nuclear production, we're having to listen to the media talk about "pain at the pump" every summer, and tightening budgets during the winter fuel oil season.

I do hope by that comment you mean for the government to remove all additional taxes and regulations they have imposed on the oil industry and not that they should get more involved. Things are bad enough as it is without more government involvement.
