(1) Call a special session of Congress and don’t let them go home until they agree to remove all oil-drilling restrictions.
(2) Noisily sell oil from our “strategic” petroleum reserve until the oil market crashes ( and then quietly buy it all back!) . It’s not very “strategic” if our country is going bankrupt due to the high price of oil. This is the emergency we’ve been waiting for!
Well, in fairness to the dolts in Washington, maybe they're simply waiting for the entire country to come to a grinding halt and then they'll consider serious measures. /s
