Inhofe Hammers Democrats On Gas Prices
Senator Jim Inhofe, Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, today hammered Democrats for their failure to address the number one issue facing American families: soaring energy prices.
“As we head into a five-week break, gas prices continue to harm the American people. There has been no response to our nation’s demands for increased domestic energy supply,” Inhofe said. “Rather than work to pass common sense legislation to increase American energy production, Senate Democrats used every procedural trick in the book in an attempt to change the subject, including a move to invoke support for the troops to change the subject, even though they had no intention to consider the National Defense Authorization Bill before adjourning. Simply put, Democrats have no answers for addressing soaring energy costs and refused to allow Republicans to bring forward legislation that would allow American energy production to get back underway."
