Are You Happy About the Price of Gas?

The energy policy in this country is costing each and every one of us thousands of dollars, that we should not need to spend.

 

We are being told that we have more oil reserves in this country than in the Middle East, so what are we doing to tap into what is already in our boundaries? What would that do to the price of gas and our unemployment numbers?

We are being told that if we built “the pipeline” from Canada, it would immediately have employed up to 20,000 jobs as it is being built. Do you think that would lower the price of oil coming into our county? What would that do to the price of gas?

Our Middle East policy is in shambles. The more chaos that goes on over there, the higher the price of oil gets. We don’t even have the ability to protect our Diplomats or get them out, even when we know there is imminent danger. 

This administration has failed America. The energy policy in this country is costing each and every one of us thousands of dollars, that we should not need to spend. If each of us had more of those dollars, wouldn’t that help our overall economy?

When you ask yourself if you are better off than you were 4 years ago I have no idea, how anyone can honestly say yes? That is unless you believe in the statement the administration put out, when they said, we would be better off with higher gas prices. Which is almost as good as “You didn’t built that, someone else built it.” How moronic can they get?
