I am just trying to get my arms around Obama's plan to lower gas prices. Let's see if I've got this straight:
Step #1 - Limit domestic oil production via Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium.
Step #2 - Severely limit oil drilling on federal lands.
Step #3 – Kill the Keystone XL pipeline.
Step #4 - Increase the average time it takes for a drilling permit to be approved to 91 days.
Step #5 - Decrease the approval rate of drilling permits by 50%. Under Bush the approval rate was 73%. Under Obama, it's 23%.
Step #6 - Steal from Social Security and give wage earners $40 dollar per paycheck to pay for higher gas prices.
Step #7 – Smile and wait for adulation.
