WASHINGTON – In another push to deal with soaring gas prices, President Bush on Monday will lift an executive ban on offshore drilling that his stood since his father was president. But the move, by itself, will do nothing unless Congress acts as well. The president plans to officially lift the ban and explain his actions in a Rose Garden statement, White House press secretary Dana Perino said. AP
The president continues to call on Congress to act swiftly to open oil markets and help bring down prices. The democrat controlled Congress has refused. In fact some in Congress have said they like high prices because it forces people to drive less and use less energy.
This is another sleazy political tactic. First they tie the hands of oil companies to bring product to market and then they kidney punch them by continues blocking of production and blaming them for the high prices that inflate profits.
We’ve talked lately about greed, laziness and envy…what do we do about sleazy underhanded control freaks in Congress?
Vote wisely in November.
