Seems to be what the Repubs are attempting with their "Energy Bill"?

1. We have an old saying . . .

"There's more where that came from." I suspect that even an $8 billion congressional valentine won't be enough for our oil companies.

2. They'll jack up the prices even more

The more $$$ in wealthfare the oil companies get, the more they'll jack up prices. That's how wealthfare works: give'em a penny and they'll take a grand.
