Lawmakers head home after impasse on gas prices - Yahoo! News: "Democrats believe they can weather the criticism since voters are hardly sympathetic to the big oil companies pressing to lift the drilling restrictions. They perform better than Republicans in opinion polls on energy — despite the shift in opinions favoring offshore drilling — as well as on most other issues." It shouldn't be so. The media pounds and pounds that Democrats do better on the economy than Republicans in polls. But everything they do and have done causes the economy to go into the tank. They raise taxes, which pulls money out of the economy, and inefficiently spend it and much more, causing inflation. The solution for getting us out of this slow-down is for government to just get out of our way and let us do our work.
