    Default Gas lines, here we come: Speaker Pelosi to push federal price caps on gasoline

    The 1970s came back so fast, I didn’t even have time to buy some leisure suits. Faced with massive inflation and an energy crisis, the obvious solution would be to incentivize more extraction and refining by lowering regulatory hurdles, a solution that eventually helped end the cyclical energy crisis 40 years ago.

    Instead, Democrats have decided to act by canceling lease sales, erecting more regulatory hurdles, and attacking … “price gouging.” Bloomberg Energy reporter Javier Blas reports that Nancy Pelosi will float a bill in the House that would give Joe Biden the authority to impose price controls on gasoline:

    US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will next week present a bill on gasoline price gouging.

    The bill will enable the president to issue emergency declaration making it illegal to increase the price of gasoline

    The only thing worse than gas at five dollars a gallon is no gas at three dollars a gallon.

    To your point, let's hope it never happens because this won't pass through Congress and Pelosi gets what she desires, to look like she is trying to do something. Price controls didn't work in the 70's and they won't work today.

    pelosi is pandering to the socialist idiots who believe that this is putins price hike ROFL

    this bill has about as much chance of passing as I do of getting a seat on SCOTUS
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    The demand is still there for oil and gasoline, but Brandon and his fellow marxists took away a great deal of the supply.

    Nope, sorry, oil companies aren’t producing, they are doing stock buy backs.

    I tried to warn you people about the price gouging going on out there!

    Perhaps your governor is helping to keep prices high in your state for political posturing reasons!

    NOW WHY WOULD YOUR GOVERNOR TRY TO MAKE BIDEN LOOK BAD- HUH?

    no governor has that kind of power............where did you learn how government works?
