Congress could lower gas prices within a week if they would lift the ban on drilling offshore, and in Anwr. The message to the world would be, we are going to fix the problem of high oil prices. This would stop the speculation that the price is going to keep rising, it would come down.
It is obvious to anyone that we are going to need oil for quite some time if we want our economy to keep growing. the argument that liberals are using that it would not put any new oil on the market for years my be true, but is that a reason not to try to fix it? If they would not have blocked the drilling and exploration from 1994 up to the present, we would not have this problem now.
A philosophy like that is the same as saying, there is no point in living healthy, it will not make any difference in the next week or months, so why try.
