'Who Is Really Responsible For The High Prices You Pay For Gasoline?'

The price of gas hit a record high where I live. Regular unleaded is now selling for $3.75 a gallon in Berks County. Premium unleaded is selling for $4.05.

Nobody has ever seen $4 gas in this part of Pennsylvania before. So who's to blame?

Investor's Business Daily has the answer on its editorial pages today.

Here's a clue:

For the last 28 years, Democrats in Congress and a few Republicans have again and again opposed our drilling for oil in Alaska's ANWR area when we knew it contained at least 10 billion barrels of oil we could be using now.

In other words, it's not OPEC, it's not China, it's not the greedy oil companies, it's not Bush/Cheney. It's the people who represent us in Congress (the ones who drive taxpayer-supplied cars with taxpayer-paid gas).

Why isn't the mainstream media putting Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid on the spot? Where is the outrage against Congressional Democrats?

From the IBD editorial:

Democrats kowtowed to the wishes of their environmental supporters over the basic needs of 300 million American citizens.

It is a national disgrace that all they now know how to do is relentlessly criticize, complain and condemn. They always attempt to blame, investigate and scapegoat someone else, in this case U.S. oil companies, when Congress is the true villain of ineptness for constantly blocking and obstructing every effort for us to become more productive and less dependent on foreign oil.
