    We listen to these clowns and save gas - hybrids, better MPG ratings, even air in our tires. Now they aren't getting enough money out of the gas tax, so they're going to increase it. Can't win.

    The No. 1 economic issue this election is gasoline prices at the pump. The tax-hike effect of surging oil on global markets that has translated into a huge spike at your local gas station has drained the economy of its vitality. It has damaged consumer purchasing power, made it tougher to pay mortgages on time, worsened the credit crunch, raised the inflation rate, undermined corporate profits and thrown stocks into the first bear market in five years. Of course, with all the political hoopla from the Denver Democrats, it's easy to forget the populist revolt against high pump prices. Sen....

    WASHINGTON -- The 110th Congress, whose term officially ends in January, hasn't passed any spending bills or attacked high gasoline prices. But it has used its powers to celebrate watermelons and to decree the origins of the word "baseball."

    Sen. Jim DeMint and Rep. Jeb Hensarling have launched a site to make sure the federal moratorium on drilling expires on September 30, 2008 without being renewed by the Democrats. On October 1, 2008, we break out the drill bits. There is a petition to sign and you can get the countdown widget (see the right sidebar) for blogs and websites.
  • Obama and Pelosi: Drill Americans, Not Oil

    Only in a country completely ignorant of basic economics could an "Emergency Economic Plan" proposed by Barack Obama be taken seriously. Obama proposes taking "excess" oil company profits and giving Americans five hundred bucks apiece and married couples a grand. No doubt this is an attractive plan to those convinced oil companies are inherently evil; that government can solve any problem; that the law of supply and demand is irrelevent; and that I deserve the money. That such a "plan" does exactly nothing to help the country is irrelevant to the legions of self-absorbed nitwits who buy into the politics...

  • Pelosi: GOP’s Oil Drilling Plan Is A ‘Hoax’

    A Republican plan to open more public land to oil exploration and drilling is “unworthy of serious debate,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Monday. Under pressure from Republicans to call Congress back into session, Pelosi on Monday issued a statement saying that Democrats have already offered a “real solution” to the nation’s high energy prices. Democrats want to force President Bush to “free our oil” from the nation’s emergency stockpile. Diverting oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve “would bring immediate relief within 10 days,” Pelosi insisted. She said a Republican plan to “give away public lands to Big...

    The average American voter understands no more about the contributing factors of the current price of gasoline, than they do the falling value of their national currency. That makes them easy targets for political manipulation in a very important election year. Simple Supply and Demand Economics Most Americans kind of get this one, though they are often misled about the ups and downs of natural free market cycles and how much impact government has, or should have, on the matter. In short, the cost for one gallon of gas (or one loaf of bread) is dramatically increased when there is...
