Nancy Pelosi concedes that an increase in supply will bring the price of gas down.
On July 8th, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi asked President Bush to make a small withdrawal from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
The House Republican leadership responded to Pelosi's proposal by noting that she was supporting a supply increase — something the Republicans have rallied behind in the form of increased offshore drilling, which the Democrats oppose.
Little dis she realize that she has just acknowledged that increasing the supply of oil will lower gas prices. But since she and the Democrats in Congress, who are held hostage by the Environmental Lobby, refuse to allow drilling for more oil, which would increase the supply of oil and LOWER GAS PRICES. Therefore, the Democrats in Congress actually support higher gas prices.
Congress's moratorium on offshore drilling is now the last major political barrier to increasing domestic oil-and-gas production. Yet Democratic leaders have refused to schedule even a single hearing on the topic.
So one has to ask yourself, why should President Bush help the Democrats in congress by increasing the supply of oil and lowering gas prices, just in time for the November Elections and helping get democrats elected?
"The severe energy price crisis facing millions of Americans compels strong presidential action to assist consumers and strengthen the economy," Pelosi said in her letter, which asked Bush to "draw down a small portion" of the country's oil reserve.
