It's now been two years since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Americans that Democrats had a commonsense solution to high gas prices. Average price per gallon when Democrats took control of Congress? $2.32. Now, as the price of gas reaches another record high of $4.11 per gallon (a 77% increase in the last two years!), Americans are growing tired of Congressional leaders twiddling their thumbs while drivers shell out more and more of their income at the pumps.
Senator Barack Obama would've preferred a more "gradual adjustment" in fuel prices. Senator Harry Reid believes all fossil fuels are "dirty" and need to be eliminated. But what these liberal leaders aren't offering is a solution to skyrocketing fuel prices while alternative sources of energy can be developed - and their hand-wringing is having a devastating effect on the American economy.
The liberal 'plan' for alleviating fuel costs seems to be nothing more than twiddling their thumbs while Americans continue to suffer.
