POPSOPEC strangling American economy I can't really agree with this. Our Congress has done more to "strangle" us than any foreign agency. IF we allow this to continue, we will be the object of our enemies manipulation and blackmail. Like every other *serious* issue, Congress has sat on it's hands for several decades...promoting band aid solutions instead of acting responsibly to make us energy independent. Lay the blame where it belongs; at the Halls of Congress.

POPSWho Is Really Responsible For the High Prices You Pay for Gasoline? When will the American people stand up and say enough!? Why weren't we insistent *before* we arrived at this point? So typical of human nature...let's just wait till things are really bad and then we *have* to do something. FTA: "It's wake-up time for America. Maybe we should investigate the blame-throwing investigators in Congress." And a more "blame-throwing" Congress I have never seen.

POPSDrilling for Oil..in Downtown L.A. This is soooo interesting. I had no idea this was going on. FTA: "California is the nation's biggest consumer of gasoline and is fourth among oil-producing states behind Texas, Alaska and Louisiana..."

POPSSenate Democrats Offer Energy Plan Amid Price Surge Now, why would they want to "...consolidate previous failed attempts"? :~( No real solutions here; just bandaids, blaming, and blustering. How long will it be before Congress gets the message that WE are serious about these energy problems? Just like everything else, our legislative branch of government talks forever and all the while accomplishing nothing until it's a Crisis? Then they look to their typical scapegoats instead of looking towards themselves.
