"Actually there are reasons for the subsidies to oil companies, but at any rate, what does that have to do with high gas prices?"

There's always reasons. They are never justified.

It doesn't matter if it affects gas prices or not. Cutting subsidies is a good idea.

I have no problem with cutting subsidies if you cut equally, and reform the tax code.

But to somehow equate this with high gas prices as Boehner is attempting to do is ludicrous. Why can’t he just state the obvious?
