High gas prices...

Rush played some clips of Robert Byrd today in which he rambled on about how Americans deserve lower gas prices. This mantra has become a Democrat staple of late, moaning about the soaring cost of gasoline in the country.

Aside from the easy reference to their commentary about wars for oil in years past, I was wondering something else. How can the US Senate lower prices at gas stations around the country?

One method would be through subsidies, doubtlessly funded by "rolling back the tax cuts on the top 1%. (It seems that rolling back the tax cuts on the top 1% can fund most everything our federal government does, giving me pause to consider just how much money these ultra-wealthy people actually pay into the federal treasury.)

Of course, then we'd be told that the subsidies were nothing more than corporate welfare established to enrich the oil and gasoline companies, commonly known as "Bush's oil buddies".

It's a very creative catch-22 the RAT party is trying to work the Congress into, but it could all be avoided if the MSM would ask the RATs exactly how they plan to cut costs of oil while saving the environment and not drilling in ANWR or off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
