Congressman Bishop speaks on the House Floor in support of his bill (H.R. 964) that would ramp up penalties for price gouging of oil and gas during international emergencies.
This dickwad doesn't understand elementary price theory. Price gouging is just a pejorative term economically illiterate politicians use for market clearing. These morons will create a shortage of oil and gas if the market doesn't clear by slightly increasing the price of the good. Now you know why I am not a Democrat. (And I'm not saying the Republican douchebags are much better.)

Dems caused this with the ban on drilling.
Fixing prices is not in your constitutional power.
Don't create another problem to fix the last problem you created.
your ban makes us dependent on foreign oil.
