Obama Raises Cost of Gasoline and Heat For American People
January 26, 2009 by Capt. Karl
The Obama Administration is working hard to impliment necessary U.S. Government actions that will raise the cost of gasoline back to over $4.00 per gallon and to dramatically raise the cost for heating and electrical bills for home owners and rental properties. The Obama Administration’s actions have had an immediate impact on the cost of a barrel of oil over the last week by nearly $10.00 per barrel.
The administrations effectiveness to raise the living costs on the average American just trying to keep his or her home and their jobs is very impressive.
The Liberty Tree Lantern is amazed with regards to Obama’s ability and detirmination to harm the remaining wealth of individual American people who are trying to just survive in the economic climate that the U.S. Congress has caused by mulititudes of scofflaw activities and unconstitutional legislation over the last 9 decades.
Americans for Prosperity Urges the Obama Administration Not to Block Domestic Energy Production
Monday, January 26th 2009
President Obama has halted all new leases for offshore drilling and oil shale exploration in Western states. The Department of the Interior was poised to begin the lengthy process of issuing 31 new federal leases for energy development. Obama’s actions reflect his view that America should not pursue all available forms of energy to escape from our dependence on foreign oil, but instead, that we should only increase our use of boutique energy sources that are pre-approved by liberal environmental extremists.
Americans for Prosperity urges the new administration not to use the cover of recession-impacted oil prices as a veil to re-impose a ban on new production. America must harness its domestic supplies of energy, in all forms, to ensure that an out-of-control price spiral, like the one we witnessed this past summer, does not happen again.
America scored a major victory along the way to energy independence and increased domestic production last fall. In the face of soaring gas prices and a torrent of money flowing to foreign energy producers, both Congress and President Bush allowed their respective bans on offshore drilling and oil shale exploration to expire. Both of these decisions were made in response to a massive display of citizen outrage at the federal government’s complicity in an extremist environmental agenda.
We took a small but important step last fall; Obama would do well not to undo it.
