In January, you can probably wave
goodbye to the lower gas prices that we have experienced over the past
several weeks. When the Democrats take a bigger slice of Congress and
Barack Obama moves into the Oval Office the promises of domestic oil
exploration will evaporate like so many gas fumes. The Dems are
already talking about reinstating the offshore oil drilling ban. But
why is it, you may think, that gas prices have dropped by almost half
throughout most of the country? It was the furor that the American
people raised at paying $4.00 a gallon over the summer. They demanded
that domestic oil reserves be tapped regardless of where they were
located. The oil speculators and the OPEC nations were scared that their only source of income would completely dry up. Now that the election is won and the prices have dropped so
low, you will see all of the platitudes that the Liberals in Congress
made disappear and your gas prices go up. And this time they will say
that higher gas prices are good because it will force America to find
"more sustainable" energy.
