The Democrat Congress is led by a women who does not realize Natural Gas is a Fossil Fuel. So it should not surprise anyone that she ignores the need for drilling to lessen the foreign grip on our Fuel Prices. Yes, our fuel prices...not just gasoline are fixed to the international supply of fossil fuels. Yet, we hold our future hostage, it is being held hostage by Nancy and her Democrat Mafia in Washington.
As we approach the fall and the retooling of our refineries to produce home heating oil, the looming cloud of higher prices is darking the future. Those Americans struggling in the declining northern cities, the rust belt, who are watching the days tick away like a bomb are being held hostage by a Congress unwilling to release the known reserves we have in this nation.
The Party that claims it cares, seemingly cares less for the people and more about the fear-mongering from Environmentalists. While we have great reserves off the coast, in the Gulf of Mexico, in ANWR and in the Western states, the Congress refuses to free up America's supplies.
The idea to NOT use the billions of dollars in the ground, under the water in the cold tundra of Alaska or in Shale in Colorado is like not spending your pay check and putting it into a desk uncashed. Where is the logic to not pull the Millions of barrels of crude out of the ground, from the under the water that at the current time are worth $120 per barrel? The Democratic Congress has held the value of Billions of dollars away from the American Economy at a time that could help Millions of American's.
Yet, who is getting richer and richer while the US sends our petro dollars to stations around the globe...not Americans. Who is going to suffer under record high Home Heating Oil prices while blaming it on Big Oil, not middle class America! How is Congress helping the people who are staring down the barrel of a gun, when the relief of these coming high prices has been deprived from them by the Rules, Laws and Regulations set forth by Democrats over the last 30 years.
SO while Million of Americans have already had to make terribly tough decisions on how to spend the precious dollars, choosing between medicine, food and gas, will soon have to add heating their homes to this list. Not becuase of Big Oil, but rather Big Government!
Congress, led by Pelosi, the Emperor of Washington, has been fiddling on vacation as the clock ticks closer to the fall and then winter...to the cold days ahead, to the high prices of Home Heating Oil...but Nancy just fiddles away. She has ignored the needs for a comprehensive energy policy that includes drilling, adding refining capacity, Nuke, alternatives, and freeing the regulatory hurdles to bring cheaper more bountiful supplies from our domestic reserves.
Nancy and the Democratic Mafia has been using racketeering practices to steal from the american people and keep them in desperate situations, holding them down. Drilling would free use, reduce our foreign needs, and bring a strategic strenght back to the US, while allowing us to control more of our future than we have in decades. Yet, this does not play to the narative that she wants, for it would empower people over the government.
Drill, Drill now, and bring sanity to our Energy Policy. Not utilizing our own domestic and OTC resources is insane...leaving $125/ barrel crude and Shale un-utilized is like leaving your paycheck in the desk and not cashing it...you have earned the money, but stubbornly refuse to spend the money...everyday we do not drill is another day lost...is another day we are being held hostage by the International Markets with complicity of the Democrats in Congress.
We are the only nation that does not exploit their own resources...We are the Saudi Arabia of Coal...We have amazing amounts of Shale, we have crude deposits in places people never go-ANWAR...we have means to drill, produce, transport and deliver this resource safely...it is done everyday...but Nancy, Barrack, and the Dems fiddle while, soon...Americans may not be able to afford to burn the heating oil they need...all the while the Dems play class envy politics, and refuse to utilize our billions of dollars beneath us!
