Senator Marshall offers legislation to lower gas prices
Posted Jun 15, 2022 1:00 PM
Specifically, his bill prohibits the introduction of any new regulations that decrease U.S. energy production or
increase gasoline prices. By getting government out of the way, domestic oil and gas production will increase
and prices will drop. Despite the national average cost of a gallon of gasoline exceeding $5, Senate Democrats
objected to Senator Marshall’s Gas Prices Relief Act and in turn, refused to act to alleviate record prices at the
pump for Americans.
“Rising energy prices add inflationary pressure to everything. It’s like a game of dominoes. When the diesel fuel
powering our 18-wheelers are costing truckers 80% more than it did last year, they are going to have to raise
their rates to compensate. When businesses are paying 30% more for their gas utilities, they are going to have to
raise their prices to make up the difference. And Kansans – already paying more just to get to the store – are
continually finding that what money they have left is getting them less and less every week.
I am here to ask for unanimous consent to pass the Gas Prices Relief Act which would bar any Federal agency from
finalizing any rule or regulation that would make it harder to produce American fuels. Our legislation would set us
on course to bring down prices at the pump by getting out of the way of American production and allowing them to
power the world without more needlessly restrictive rules and regulations. Good energy policy will fix the current
crisis, not more reckless spending or regulations...”

His plan appears to be get out of the way of big oil by reducing regulations they don't like. Anybody that believes
allowing big oil to do anything they want will reduce prices at the pump is an idiot.
His piece of legislation is designed to get him more big oil campaign donations and give him something to brag
about on the campaign trail, all self-serving to himself.
No more at link except a video of him talking in circles, at about the 2:30 mark he remarked that "Biden was
fulfilling his campaign promise to destroy American oil & gas", don't believe he ever said that. At the 3:00
mark he said "seems like it was just yesterday I was filling my truck up for less than 2 dollars a gallon"
That tank of gas last you 40 years Roger????? Chuck Schumer won't even allow a vote on this. Nowhere was
there any real idea to lower pump prices.
