STOP BLAMING CONGRESS AND BLAME YOURSELVES!
I for one am getting sick and dog-tired of people whining about how high gas prices are going and why Congress and the Democrats haven't done anything about it.
It's no secret that this nation hasn't had an energy-policy worth mentioning for as long as I have been around. But to shift the blame to the Democrats and to Congress when gas hits well over $4 a gallon--is beyond ridiculous.
Neither Congress nor the President controls the price of oil. Get that through your collective heads!
What drives this finite commodity is supply versus demand. I'm sure everyone reading this letter took a course in Home Economics. I know I did.
I learned that when supply is low, demand is high, you get expensive gas. So trying to pin this one on everyone else but ourselves is about as childish as it can get!
WE the people--of this United States of America--have an insatiable addiction to oil. And that's not going to change anytime soon. We also do not have an adequate supply to meet the demand of a nation that so far has refused to even accept change in our daily driving habits or the status quo.
All we can do is blame the Democrats, blame Clinton for not drilling in the mid-90s, or anyone else--but ourselves--for the energy crisis which we now face today.
We caused this problem to happen! But instead of embracing new ideas and new sources of energy, most Americans just believe that 'drilling our way out' will solve everyone's problems!
The sad part is: We don't have enough oil to go around. And that's a truth that few people are willing to accept these days.
