"If Congress wants to get serious about addressing high energy prices and our overdependence on foreign oil, it should embrace a comprehensive plan to produce more domestic energy from traditional and renewable sources and promote a more resilient and efficient energy infrastructure."

What is so complicated about this? What in the world are these Dems thinking? Who the hell pays their gas bills???

“What in the world are these Dems thinking?”

They couldn't give a rats but about actually fixxing anything. All the dem proposals are about inflaming class conflict.

the tax reduced domestic oil production by as much as 8% and dependence on imported oil grew from 3 percent to 13 percent

The numbers don't quite add up, which indicates other factors at work, but taxes are passed through to the ultimate consumer anyway.

They want to tank the economy; it makes it easier for them to make to forment class envy, and blame Bush/Republicans=Mccain right before an election.
