One reason is Congressional action including refusal to allow drilling in United States' areas where ample supplies exist.
Another reason is refusing to allow the building of new refineries or even enlarging existing ones.
At the recent hearing before Congress Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) actually said the word "socialize" when
referring to possible actions for the government to control oil prices - and companies. She was speechless for about
10 seconds when she realized her gaffe in revealing the Democrats' ultimate plans.
At the hearing, an oil company executive called Congressional actions a "disservice" to American consumers - and voters.
One way for consumers to respond is to elect a Congress that will listen and serve us, not special interests.
Or don't drive at all, which, of course, is what some special interest groups want: We stay out of our cars and off
the roads.
A Republican Congress will give Americans control of resources, commerce, even health care and our personal
resources.
Reelect Marilyn Musgrave as Representative from Colorado's 4th District .
(Hearings for the oil companies were shown in part on cable news.
Fox News aired Representative Waters' untimely choice of words.)
