Not Even At $10 A Gallon?

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell asks that the Senate consider a bill to allow offshore drilling, but Democrats, led by Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) object.

Sen. McConnell then asks if the bill could be triggered when gas reaches $4.50 per gallon, then $5 per gallon, then $7.50 per gallon, and finally $10 per gallon. All objected to.

So how high does the gas price have to be for Democrats to agree to more oil drilling?

@blakjedi 5-10 years? are you fucking stupid? i worked on a rig in the south china sea for 2 years and we were pumping crude after 3 months... sure if you want to add the year it took to build and place the rig yeah it takes some time but no 5 fucking years. As with any commodities market speculation would drive the price... i mean if i knew there were 10 gallons of gas on the planet would i sell it for 4 dollars a gallon? Idiot...

Gas reached 4 plus dollars under bush also... It's stupid to have a trigger as it takes anywhere between 5 and 10 years to get a rig up and running... The built rigs for drilling when gas was 50 cents per gallon... The price of gas is basically inventory, collusion and speculation. Not lack or scarcity of oil.

Stop paying taxes!

Democrats don't plan for emergencies. They don't forecast and don't know care. I might be able to limp by on $7.00 a gallon for a month or so. How about you? Ready to let these people take the food off your table?

The problem is not Big Oil. The problem is Big Government. Democrat/Socialists stand in Our way.

They have no problem giving up the 100billion in oil revenue because the good ole stupid middle class mule will give it to them in taxes especially when they take the only deduction we have left to be able to line itemise when you lose your home morgage deduct you will then scream for a fair tax . why do you think Russia came out of the basement. DO YOU THINK CHINA WILL FORGIVE OUR DEBT like we did Russias.
