This is not a drill

Gas is up here $0.60/gal since last week. The Dems in Congress have done NOTHING to ensure we are safe from spiking crude prices. In fact, there are rumblings they will impose the offshore drilling bans they let expire just before the election. We have oil reserves, why are we letting imported oil affect our economy and foreign policy? Yes, we should investigate alternative fuels. Yes we should conserve, but most importantly we should create jobs, lessen our dependence on foreign oil and drill, drill, drill. I have yet to hear an argument against this policy that makes any sense. As Nathan pointed out in the comments to a previous post, the best economic stimulus is cheap gas. If The Obama and Democrats really want to help the middle class and the poor and the working men and women of this nation they would immediately do everything in their power to find and produce domestic oil. Wake up, see what happens when the suppliers cut off the flow of fuel like the Russians have done to the EU. Since the days of Jimmah Carter we have heard that we need to wean ourselves from foreign oil. Now is the time. Drill now.
