Don't Keep on Truckin'

It's most unfortunate that the word "some" appears in this story and not "most" or "all". Reduced demand and high pressure on the sellers, is the way to reduce oil prices. This is almost impossible to do since the majority of people in America drive. However, truckers make the country run, they are the backbone of America's economic system. If they don't bring goods to market, goods don't get sold.

This is just the kind of pressure that needs to be brought to bear to make congress sit up and take notice. I'm not talking about them regulating fuel prices, but how about drilling for oil, opening refineries, nuclear plants, and reducing the tax burden on a gallon of gasoline?

America is in this situation because of liberal environmental practices and nothing more.
