In May 2007, Nancy Pelosi announced amid great fanfare that the Democrats had made July 4, 2007 Energy Independence Day. Castigating George Bush for his inaction on energy policy, Pelosi noted that gas prices had reached record levels and that the newly-enacted Democratic majority would take charge of energy policy to take back the leadership from â€œBig Oilâ€. Pay close attention to the chart behind Pelosi at the beginning:

Yes, that gas price listed behind Pelosi is $3.05, a slightly high estimate of the average pump price at the time. Pelosi brags about all of the action taken in the first 100 hours of the new Democratic Congress in boosting subsidies for ethanol â€” â€œsending money to the Midwest instead of the Middle Eastâ€ â€” and stripping Big Oil of its â€œsubsidiesâ€, which were in fact tax breaks on production. What Pelosi failed to mention was that gas prices at the pump were $2.24 per gallon in January of that year, and that under Democratic leadership, prices went up over 30%.
And note that Pelosi complained that the highest price for gas could be found in her San Francisco district without ever explaining why.

Can't wait to see what the Dems do next to "fix" the energy problem. :whatever:
