Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) makes the claim “Since George Bush got into office…[gas prices saw a ] 250% increase.”

The truth of the matter is the day Democrats took control of Congress, January 4, 2007, gas prices averaged $2.33 per gallon, according to AAA. Today, the national average is $4.04 – a whopping $1.71 increase per gallon in less than a year and a half.

Who is Barbara Boxer? She’s the brainchild of the Boxer Climate Tax Bill which was a deceptive piece of legislation that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged would raise the price of gasoline at the pump BY ANOTHER $1.40 a gallon!

Ok, so while you and me suffer at the high cost of gasoline, these democrats in congress can only think of ways to make it worse? They are so out of touch with the American people.

Did you know that gasoline costs 45 cents a gallon in Saudi Arabia, 35 cents in Iran, and less than a quarter in Venezuela?

Why does gasoline cost so little in these countries and so much in the United States of America?

Answer: Because Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela harvest enough oil to take care of their own people… and AMERICA DOESN’T!

Meanwhile Chinese firms are planning to slant drill off the Cuban coast near the Florida Straits, tapping into U.S. oil reserves that are estimated at 4.6 billion to 9.3 billion barrels! Needless to say, the enviro-nazis in America will not let us drill off the coast of Florida but the Chinese can!

 

Fortunately, for us for now, the Democrats failed to secure a majority on this bill.
