All I know is that gas was about $2.20/gallon in January 2007. Amazingly enough about the time Democrats took control of congress.later read
I remember the first couple of dim debates and THEY ALL SUPPORTED AT LEAST $3.00 A GALLON TAX for environmental reasons. That $3.95 a gallon would be $6.95 or more but hey Hillary would poke OPEC with a twig.
This is why I am not worried if the Democrats sweep this fall. After two yrs of them screwing everything up, the people with be ready for a new change all over again.
Liberal DemoRAT Energy Plan:
1. You can’t drill for oil anywhere.
2. You can’t build a refinery anywhere.
3. You can’t build a nuclear power plant anywhere.
4. You can’t burn coal for electricity.
5. You can’t allow the oil companies to reinvest their profits into exploration.
6. But you can drive up the price of food by subsidizing an ethanol industry that takes land out of food production while using more energy than it creates.
7.You must continue to tax every gallon of gas that we put in our tanks.
8.You must threaten all energy users with additional ‘carbon taxes’.
9. And just in case some entrepreneur out there somewhere may have an idea for an alternative energy concept that just might work, you must raise the capital gains tax so that investors have less capital and less incentive to invest in his/her project. count your blessings.
With the coming change in administration, it| will be a wonder if the price of gasoline doesn’t get to $10 per gallon.
All this and more thanks to Liberal DemoRATS.
Attacking the democrats on gas prices might be the GOP’s best bet this fall.
Didn’t Bill Clintoon veto drilling in Anwar?
That would be online now if he didn’t.
I live in the east bay of California. On May 6th I bought gas at my local station for $3.97. Today that same Union 76 is $3.97. In the meantime I traveled to Ohio on May 7th and the local gas station was $3.65 now it is $3.95 on May 14.
What would cause gasoline prices to spiral up 30 cents over 7 days in Columbus, Ohio yet have no price increase in San Leandro, California over the same period. I keep expecting to come home from one of my recent Midwest trips to see $4.25 gas because up until now when back in the midwest gas was always 30-40 cents cheaper.
But this is the first time in the 12 years since I moved to CA. that gas prices are pretty much equal in California compared to where I lived in Ohio.
That is pretty devastating for Ohio because people here are not making California wages. This is really out of control. Thank you Congress.
.... everyone of them!
What happens when the liberals try to "punish" big oil with new taxes...big oil will pass the cost on to consumers as even higher prices and will not invest in new infrastructure for producing gasoline...remember the gas lines and odd even fill up days in the Carter administration?
I laughed when Hillary recently said she would take on OPEC with antitrust law suits...rather tough when the US isn't an OPEC member and OPEC has no business presence in the US. Yet no one in the MSM bothered to point out this outlandish claim.
The Democrats have no plan other than to tax oil more. Too bad more people are figuring this out.
All I know is that gas was about $2.20/gallon in January 2007. Amazingly enough about the time Democrats took control of congress.Investor's Business Daily has a continuing series on "Breaking the Back of High Oil", and today's edition has a fascinating breakdown of some of the actions that the Democrats have taken over the last three decades or so to ensure that our country has no defense against the effects of rising oil prices. While doing so, they've made us all captives of OPEC and such tinpot dictatorships such as Venezuela.
