Why the price of gas will remain high so long as Repubs control Congress?
   

 
The oil companies know they can gouge the prices all they want when the Congress is controlled by the Republican Party. When was the last time prices went down? Remember?

If you like high-priced gasoline, get your ass down to the polls and vote Republican. They will squeeze every damn nickel out of your pockets.

Yes, gasoline will probably go up next summer and if it looks like Congress may switch hands, then the price will go down once again. Write it down.

It's down to $3.08 here today.  That's practically a bargain compared to when the Democrats were running things.

Only until we control congress and the presidency. Then prices come down to about $30/bbl as our domestic sources of energy are used for our benefit.

We control Congress?

When I went to take a nap, we had half of Congress, the House.

Did the (R)s stage a coup when I was sleeping, and we control the Senate now?

Maybe the White House tomorrow, and the Supreme Court by the weekend?

One can hope.
