Here's Our Energy Agenda... Where's their plan?
Where's their plan?
Washington,
May 21 -
For the 14th day in a row, gas prices have reached a new high. They topped the chart at $3.80 a gallon today, and as they did House Republicans took to the steps of the Capitol to announce their plan -- a plan that has the potential to cut gas to below $2 a gallon.
Here is a break down of our plan:
Republican Plan to Lower Gas Prices Savings
Bring U.S. onshore oil online (ANWR) $0.70 - $1.60
Bring U.S. deepwater oil online (OCS) $0.90 - $2.50
Bring new oil refineries online $0.15 - $0.45
Cut earmarks to fund gas tax holiday $0.18
Halt oil shipments to SPR $0.05
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Savings (at least): $1.98
Where is the Democrats' promised "common-sense" plan?
This is what it looks like to me:
Democrat Plan to Lower Gas Prices Savings
Sue OPEC $0.00
Launch 7th investigation into “Price Gougers” $0.00
Launch 4th investigation into “Speculators” $0.00
$20 billion in new taxes on oil producers (debit)
Halt Oil Shipments to SPR $0.05
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Savings (at most): $0.05
American families are tired of paying the Pelosi Premium -- Republicans think they deserve more than the over-promising and under-delivering the Democrats have given. We have a plan to help.
