The Democrat party has introduced an "energy bill" in Congress that does virtually nothing to solve the duel problems of high gas prices and the security risk of America`s dependence on middle eastern oil.
The bill is a slap in the face to the 90% of America that is already suffering from the high price of fuel, brought to us by the outrageous restrictions forced on the country by same congressional clowns that are claiming this is the answer.
The current BoBomma line is "America only has 3% of the world`s oil reserves but represents 25% of the world`s oil demand, so drilling isn`t the answer". Of course, as is always the case with the Slippery Messiah, the whole story isn`t being told. Proven reserves in the Prudhoe Bay, Alaska site alone make it the 13th largest oil field in the world, and drilling there would clearly increase world supply and drive down prices. Isn`t that the objective? Apparently not in the eyes of the Pelosi-BoBomma crowd.
More importantly, BoBomma is talking about PROVEN reserves. We don`t even know how much oil we actually have, since the Democrats in Congress won`t let us even explore these areas to determine what1s there. Why, you ask? Because they don`t care what`s best for the country. They care about staying in power. Everything else is irrelevant.
