At what prices do the Democrats open the oil fields?
We are in the middle of a economic crises because of the price of oil and gas. However, U.S. energy policies are outdated and have stopped the American economy cold. These outdated leftist policies have succeeded in making energy cost more than we can afford. Americans don’t need more regulations from Washington. America needs more oil supply and more refinery capacity. The only place that we can’t get oil is from all our domestic sources. If you feel that gas is too high, please thank the Democratic environmental energy policies that have overwhelmed the American economy.
We as a nation are at a crossroads. Should we continue to pay higher and higher prices at the pump? Will we import oil from terrorist countries and watch the American economy go into a deep recession. Or should we make a decision to open domestic oil fields and build more refineries? That would provide Americans with more oil in the market, lower prices and add high paying, long term employment. The Democrats answer is their recent legislation to ban oil drilling in Alaska permanently. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6236367.stm It would seem the Democrats have decided the American voters want higher energy prices with no chance for higher quality employment, especially in Alaska. With world wide consumption levels higher than production levels by approximately 5 million barrels a day.* http://www.saudinf.com/main/z001.htm Americans can expect the oil price to continue to rise. When the Democrats won the election in 2006, the price for a barrel of oil was at the $58 mark. The left’s stranglehold on the domestic oil supply is troubling indeed. The Democrats are forcing America to buy oil from terrorist states.
The Democrats have refused to open domestic oil fields to support the voters and the American economy. When the left took over in the fall of 2006 the price for a barrel of oil was $58. At this time a barrel of crude oil is $124. The Democrats will wait for $130, $150,$180 or even $200 per barrel. Something to consider with each of these marks is, will the economy crumble further at $150 to $200 per barrel. I don’t need to guess the answer. Just like every reader knows, the economy will be in ruins. Americans that haven’t got financial problems now will have them in the future with energy prices rising more by the day.
Something else to consider, is when we open domestic oil fields off shore, in Alaska and every place available, many high paying, long term jobs will help the America family and every business. I believe that these new jobs will have a stabilizing effect on the economy and starve off further economic problems. Most importantly, this a great opportunity to rebuild and develop all of America’s infrastructure. The infrastructure of America needs to be upgraded and expanded as it is. These new jobs would move this country into the 21st century and include oil field workers, refinery workers, and construction workers of all kinds. Iron workers, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, millwrights, laborers, painters, all the technical workers, office workers and engineers will be needed for America’s growth. This opportunity will offer high paying long term jobs to a generation of the American working men and women.
Again I ask, at what price do the Democrats open the oil fields?

Figure when gas hits around $7 to $8 per gallon, there will be dems rioting in the streets, burning buildings and looting.
