She should use more precise grammar. We certainly CAN drill our way out of this. So what she obviously meant to say was that we "MAY not," which is true because her and her social engineering progressive ilk won't allow it.
But since we may not drill our way out of this, I guess we CAN try to address the problem by raising taxes, implementing price controls, restricting economic activity, and passing more laws reducing our use of oil due to "global warming" concerns. Of course, we really CAN'T succeed in solving the problem that way, but at least we'll all feel good about ourselves while we're walking, freezing in the winter, sweltering in the summer and watching our economy go down the tubes.
Kumbaya, baby. Kumbaya.
This is the new Pavlovian response the Democrats have to every problem. It now has to share time with, “Raise taxes on the rich.”
