Why is gasoline over $3 per gallon? Why is the United States spending billions of dollars for oil from countries that couldn’t care less about us?
Why don’t we have coastline drilling for oil? Why don’t we drill for oil on our own land? Why don’t we build refineries to make gasoline and put thousands back to work? Why do we use corn to make ethanol gasoline, which raises all food costs?
Why do we let environmental regulators tell us what and where we can drill for oil? Why are some governors having feuds with Washington over renewable energy and drilling for oil? Why don’t our legislators get their heads out of the sand and do what is right for the American people and lower gasoline prices so we can afford to drive to find work and also afford to purchase gasoline to go to work?
