Who MADE The "Oil Crisis?"

We haven't built a single oil refinery in more than THIRTY YEARS because of irresponsible and stupid environmental policies, foisted upon us by just as irresponsible and stupid politicians who have made laws and regulations that have made it so complicated and expensive to do to that no one has bothered. At the same time, they have (the same people) prevented us from drilling anywhere the United States "runs things." Meanwhile, the DEMAND for oil, not just in this country, but elsewhere that oil and gas was NOT a "big item," such as communist China, has grown so fast, we couldn't keep up with it if we COULD drill and refine oil in this country. If you wanted to destroy the American economy, you couldn't do a better job of it than they are doing. And now they're demanding an "excess profits tax"--again! They do that every time oil and gas prices go up. To "Solve" a problem THEY created! MiGawd! How stupid do they think the American people are? They don't REDUCE taxes on oil when prices (rarely) go down. (Ann Coulter)
