Reid: $5-a-gallon gas is no problem
The Democrats have made a political calculation that they can weather the voter storm of protest of their allowing or even helping gas prices get over $5.00 a gallon, they are even adding 10 cents to the federal gas tax to push it over that level.
Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi oppose lifting the ban on domestic oil drilling – and they are hoping the American people will just quietly accept gas prices topping $5 a gallon or even higher.
They say the key to lowering the price is conservation.

The rest of the article is about how Farah at World Net Daily, wants to attack this Congress and their policies on gasoline prices and against domestic oil drilling. One point he makes and I agree, is that Reid, Pelosi and other leading Democrats are risking the economic health of this country in favor of their Global Warming dogma which is not about global warming at all but political power; and, because they have calculated and I think in error that because socialist Europe supports anti-global warming polices that Americans are anxious to jump on board.
