Conflicted Senate
The conflicted Senate yesterday voted to suspend any new additions to the strategic petroleum reserve.
Both Democrats and Republicans said such shipments make no sense when oil is costing more than $120 a barrel and could better be used to add supplies to a tight market.So now the Senate knows where oil should be priced! How did they figure that out?
In the second vote, the Senate rejected a Republican energy plan that promised to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration, an option that was part of an overall package to increase domestic energy development. Our leaders think they know the proper pricing of oil and will not do anything to increase the supply.
Meantime, our president is begging the Saudis to increase oil production. I am disgusted with them all!
