The price of gas does not effect these guys. I don’t think anything will happen until about ten or so million of us march on Washington and shut it down. If they are not going to pass anything to help out the country than it would be better to let them do nothing at all.
Sad but true. The only bit they care is to the extent that people affected vote. They don't want to really fix the problem, but want to make us think they are fixing it. So goes with the BS today about the SPR cutoff. So now that won't even help a bit. There are only two ways out of this:
1) Drill domestically and build new refineries.
2) Negotiate a supply increase with Mexico to break the OPEC cartel. They owe us for taking their riff-raff into our country for so many years.
