On the recordApril 18, 2012
I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) to respond to the gentlelady. Mr. McGOVERN. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, give me a break. I mean, oil companies are making record profits. We are producing more oil in this country than ever before. They are producing so much they are exporting oil, and at the same time they are raising gas prices at the pump for average, ordinary citizens. The fact that taxpayers are subsidizing Big Oil when they're making record profits and sticking it to the American people, I think is unconscionable. That's what I tried to get rid of, and we should at least have a vote up or down on that on the floor.
