From Time magazine, which has been surprisingly feisty lately, a story called The Fix For High Gas Prices That Congress Won’t Touch. The telling quote:
The cantankerous Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has made repeat appearances on CNBC this week to bark out a stern conservation message. "If everyone cut back their driving by 3% we’d have gasoline coming out of our ears!" he told viewers. But he’s one of the few lawmakers willing to publicly encourage cutting back.
It’s not a secret, in D.C. or elsewhere. But Grassley is one of the very few politicians on either side of the aisle willing to be even quoted on the issue. That’s our Congress. Leading the way as always.
