Roy Blunt of Missouri put together this chart (click to enlarge) showing the difference between the Democrat and Republican plans to help lower gas prices.
Who knows how much of Blunt's chart is fiction on the Republican side? The "cut earmarks to fund gas tax holiday" seems a little bogus.
Republicans would be better off including something like "streamlining boutique blends" and helping to lower the 59-odd different blends of gasoline that various states, counties, and municipalities order up.
But it's all better than what the Democrats offer up: endless carping about "windfall profits" while your wife is the director of an oil company and your personal fortune hits $20 million while you draw a senator's salary. Oh, and earmarking over $10 million for 9 electric buses which traveled a total of 200,000 miles (that's $50 a mile, folks) before being mothballed and sold as scrap for $30,000.

Yep. That's right. The GOP plan is better.....FOR TODAY.
It doesn't do a damn thing past that. Drill, drill, drill.
its funny the the dems ran on a plan to bring down the cost of gas, yet its sky rocketed under their non policy. the republicans had no plan wehn the had the house and senate.. so i call shenanigans on both sides.
