As I drove by my local gas station this afternoon, I noticed that gas had gone to $3.05/gal. With the Republicans controlling the House, the Senate, and the White House, you wonder why they refuse to do anything about gas prices. The American people are hurting. Businesses are feeling the results of the higher gas prices with a reduction of customers. What is the response of the Republicans? Here it is:___________ Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The GOP likes the money flowing into their campaign war chests and they are not going to do anything to anger their good pals from oil/energy companies and PACs.
If you are interested in gas prices, check Gas Buddy. According to Open Secrets, 83% of money contributed by oil and gas PACs have gone to Republicans. Only 17% went to Democrats. This explains why Republicans aren't interested in punishing their fat cat friends in the oil and gas corporations.
