Please tell me she didn’t say “millions of high paying jobs”...

I wish she could, but that really isn’t within her power.

No. But as President, she can UNLOCK America's energy reserves, which should cause the price of the fuels we need to drop. That and getting rid of these stupid CAFE standards and EPA regulations that have not saved one life or one drop of gas yet.

Right. She could have made her point without putting a number to it. Unnecessary

But she can remove the government imposed restrictions that prevent us from drilling for our own oil on our own land.

Image the world if the US was the chief energy exporter and the price all around the world dropped significantly. OPEC would collapse and Chavez would too. There is little downside to a massive increase in oil production.

>>She cannot will the price of something to drop to $2.<<

I agree. But her statement was what, in sales, is called a Big Fat Claim (BFC). It is actually a very effective tool if you can back up your BFC with facts and statistics. In her follow up comments she is showing the beginnings of doing just that.

That is a good thing.

And I think she is right. There was a related article today about a Wyoming judge ruling against salazar for sitting on drilling permits. If the oil companies were allowed to start exploiting what we already know we have, the price WOULD be below $2. Significantly so. We’ve merely been conditioned to see that as cheap. Kinda like we now see $1,500 gold as cheap. ;-)
