According to my liberal representatives here in California, the current high gas prices would not be helped by drilling here in the US. To quote Diane Feinstein, "...I do not believe that we can drill our way out of the current record energy prices..." Why not? Increasing the inventory ALWAYS brings down prices. Which school did she go to? The school of environmental special interests that's where.
Living in California has been politically frustrating. After the June 3 defeat of proposition 98 which would have restored sanity to the rental market in places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland and Berkeley and the pending passage of an assembly bill which would make "point of sale" energy audits mandatoy, I fear we are heading toward recession. Crazy politicians and their even crazier constituents are pushing the state toward bankruptcy. Even the Governor, no conservative, is fearful for our economy.
So on a national level, the California Democrats like Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein are running the agenda. And after two years, look at where we are. They want to blame President Bush, but how then do they explain the previous 6 years of prosperity? Think of what it will be like with 4 years of Obama or Clinton and even bigger majorities in the house and senate. I'm warning you. That little island place we bought in Panama is starting to look better and better!
My fear is that we are losing our country. I know, I know. They thought that right after the Revolutionary War too, but at least they were closer to agreeing on what this country would look like. Does anyone think if the founders were alive today they would approve of the way the environmental minority is setting the agenda for the rest of us with bigger government, higher taxes, less freedom and more litigation? NO WAY! Remember, they went to war over an amount in taxes, that is more than just the amount we pay today on our telephone bills for the hearing impaired!!
If people want to solve this gas crisis now which has been created by environmentalists and liberals who refuse to let our oil companies drill and refine in this country, there is a new website that will be going up soon. It is called
www.FedUpNetwork.com and will primarily focus on one issue at a time. The first endeavour will be HIGH GAS PRICES and pointing out who is to blame for them... and it sure isn't the Republicans like Democrats claim!
Check it out.
