“The ‘Pelosi Premium’ is forcing drivers to shell out at the pump affecting everything from summer travel plans to food costs. While the Majority leads us on with empty promises of lowering gas and energy prices they are pushing through legislation that puts more of our own resources off limits . . . they have voted four times to raise energy taxes during this Congress and they’ve even proposed a fifty-cent gasoline tax increase on top of today’s wallet-breaking prices. Where is the ‘commonsense’ in this plan? The Majority’s case is running on fumes as America’s patience borders on empty.”
-- U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert
