Ogre’s Politics and Views

House Democrats continue to openly support high gas prices. Realize this — Democrats in Washington honestly WANT high gas prices. They are actively working and fighting TO KEEP PRICES HIGH. If they claim to be trying to lower prices, they are just plain out lying. And yes, this is a political move, partially calculated to get Obama elected. You see, if the Democrats can claim that the economy is bad, they think it will help Obama — because the media won’t report on the fact that the Democrats in Congress are MORE responsible for the economy than the president ever will be.

In general, gas prices respond to laws of economics (despite what lying Democrats claim). In most economies, most of the time, if you want to lower prices, you either reduce costs in making the item, you decrease the demand, or you increase the supply. In a free society, changing the demand is wrong. In order to change the demand, you MUST take away freedom. This is the route the Democrats prefer.

However, if you want a market-based, freedom way to change prices, you need to either reduce costs or increase supply. Last week the Democrats in the US Senate tried hard to INCREASE the cost of making gasoline. Doing so will have only one, absolutely predictable result: higher prices. They failed in their attempts to massive increase prices. This week, Democrats in the House took their shot at raising prices. The Democrats voted to keep supplies as low as possible, to ensure that prices do not fall.

Keep this in mind when talking to your Democrat pals. The Democrats are literally doing everything in their power to KEEP GAS PRICES HIGH and fighting ANY effort to reduce gas prices. Seriously. When any Democrat claims otherwise, they are just lying. Why would they do this? For political gains — nothing else matters to them. Yes, this is how low politics have fallen. Democrats want to win at quite literally any cost.
