So why IS gas so darn expensive?
There are a lot of reasons, but somehow the biggest problem (as usual) points directly to Washington DC. Democrats yesterday in a subcommittee voted basically to kill going to the outer continental shelf to drill for oil because there are ‘other things we can do’.
I would like to introduce you to the people who are preventing us from drilling here at home, because, as I say, these people should be famous.
When the pitchforks and torches start coming out—we’d like to help clarify who was for or against us.
