Besides ignoring the pandering pablum I posted from Reid's own website, you seem to live Ostrichland. You write like this all happened overnight, or at least in the last six years. I might remind you of the first oil shocks in the early 1970's, unless you are too young to remember waiting in "gas lines" on odd and even days for gasoline. Do you even know what odd and even stood for? Both Parties are responsible for the boat Americans are in today. Deny it all you want, but the Republicans haven't been in power for 33 years.
This is a problem that can be laid directly upon the doorstep of bipartisian government inaction since the oil shortages that began in October of 1973. The recent ridiculous suggestions from both sides of the aisle only mirror their lame inaction for the last 33 years as well. Take off you myopic democratic blinders, pull you head out of the partisian sand, and open your eyes to the reality of history. This didn't happen overnight and the solutions won't correct the problem overnight either. Strap yourself in for a bumpy ride and $100 barrels of oil.
