A superb breakdown by GatewayPundit.

It's cool to let China drill 50 miles off of the Florida coast, but screw the USA.

Worst. Congress. Everrrrrrr.

Excerpt:

Nancy Pelosi chanted "Veto and Drill", "Veto and Drill" in caricaturing the threatened presidential veto of windfall oil company taxes and desire to drill in ANWR and elsewhere. But all that might sound, in fact, good to most Americans. With the world's largest reserves of coal, after creating the nuclear power industry ex nihilo, and with billions of oil still under our soil and waters, it makes no sense to produce less energy while blaming and taxing those who produce what we have, rather than drilling, digging, and saving, as we find ways to transition to the alternate energies. The problem is not just oil, but importing oil at $120 a barrel that is bankrupting us as much as it is enriching the wrong people.


If we are importing 5,000,000,000 barrels of oil each year due to Democratic politics (from the above chart produced back in 2006)-- We are paying the oil producing regimes $600,000,000,000 this year for oil.

But for some reason Democrats think taxing oil companies will fix this problem?

That is a death wish for America.

Yep, let's all Hope that we can Change the USA into a third rate country.
