"We can't drill our way to lower prices at the pump."
That's what Senator
Dick Durbin said the other day when the Senate had a vote concerning the subject. What a genius and I mean that in a purely honest, saracastic way.
Dick Durbin must not understand that increased production, even the threat of increased production can drive down the prices on oil and oil futures. Lower crude prices will bring lower refined products prices and, yeah, that includes gasoline and diesel.
Let's face it, it is pure stupidity to whine and complain about economic stability and then to sabotage it by not being able, when you could be able, to produce the most necessary commodity out there. That's oil. Oil makes stuff we use, oil transports that stuff, oil gets us to work where we make money to buy that stuff and oil keeps us warm enough to enjoy that stuff. No oil, no economy, no country.
Dick Durbin, you are an idiot.
