House passes bill to crack down on alleged gas price gouging
The House of Representatives passed a bill along party lines Thursday that seeks to lower gas prices by cracking down on alleged price gouging by energy companies.
The House vote was 217-207: no Republican supported the bill, suggesting it's likely headed for failure in the Senate.
The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act would grant the president authority to issue emergency energy proclamations and make it illegal to increase gas and energy prices in excessive and exploitative ways. It would also expand the Federal Trade Commission's power to investigate and address possible price gouging by oil and gas companies.

"I'm a proud capitalist, and what we're experiencing with fuel prices is the result of a broken market," (Katie) Porter said in a statement. "Big Oil executives are bragging to shareholders about price gouging families at the pump. They're purposely keeping supply low to earn record-high profits, squeezing families and our entire economy in the process."
KISS Keep it simple stupid.

(16,869 posts)The message needs to be "If Republicans would have voted for the anti gouging bill, gas would be $1.50 a gallon cheaper! " and be able to back it up with hard data. Winning message.
