Amen! Amen! This Congress, whether Reps. or Dems. have brought us to this point. As a matter of fact, it's been avalanche-ing towards this point for over a decade. I hope people are as hoppin' mad as I am....and I don't drive no SUV.

I hope they will finally open these areas to drilling. We need to move away from Arab oil.

What in the world do you think it's going to take for them to get moving??!!! Maybe if Congress had to pay for their own gas, not have drivers, or nice big salaries that they could increase at will....they would be a little more diligent. Our Representatives do NOT represent us. When did we and they forget that?

I've been extremely mad for at least the last six months regarding the food costs inflation! Fortunately, I don't own a car, I take public transportation.

My sentiment exactly.

It's just not off shore oil drilling we need, but also a couple of more U.S. refineries--that's also part of the bottleneck.
