New Hampshire’s Democratic Reps, and former NH governor, tell us they have great ideas on how to resolve the high cost of energy, how to help the “struggling” middle class with the costs associated with it. But they never seriously relate the two with facts because anyone with two brain-cells to rub together knows that democrat policies on energy only hurt the middle class.
So let’s give credit where credit is due. Democrats take cash from the green lobby, they continue to boycott oil and gas production–which favors that lobby, oil has more than doubled in price under their watch, so they pushed mileage standards that will make cars less safer, and ethanol subsidies which made food more expensive, and their fall back excuse is that drilling won’t help, profits are bad, because republicans get campaign donations from oil companies.
Did I mention that oil was around $80.00 less a barrel when they took over congress in 2006?
So it’s probablt safe to say that when it comes to energy policy, democrats cling to evil oil profits and the environment. And they are half right. Oil profits really are bad in the hands of the federal government, which makes more than twice as much money from a barrel of oil as US oil companies do. But what do they do with it? They make food more expensive too. That’s helping the middle class…move to a lower class.
