Apparently Chuck Schumer believes drilling in Saudi Arabia will lower US gasoline prices but drilling in the US will not.
According to New York Senator Charles Schumer, the fact that the Saudi Arabians are increasing oil production is good news, because that will lower gasoline prices in the United States.
Huh?
This in an article in The Hill, during the same week that President Barack Obama has been out NOT campaigning, giving scoffing speeches about those who criticize him for not encouraging domestic drilling to moderate the price of fuel. In fact, Obama said those who believe that increasing drilling can lower gasoline prices are like “Flat Earthers”.
So let me get this straight: according to the Democrats, increased drilling in Saudi Arabia will lower gasoline prices the US, but producing more oil in the US will not?
How does that work exactly?
Well at least we have algae.
