On the recordJune 11, 2008
You know, if we don't do something about the price of gasoline and fuel, we will be able to go to the moon cheaper than we can drive down to the corner drugstore. I know that may sound like a joke, but the cost of fuel is going up so rapidly that everybody I have met, and I am talking about Democrats, Republicans, people on the street, everybody that I have met when I ask them what do you think about the price of fuel and gasoline, they say we have got to do something about it. And I ask, What do you think about drilling here in the United States and the territorial possessions of the United States and offshore on the Outer Continental Shelf, and they say drill wherever you have to; drill wherever you have to, but get my gas prices down. And that is about 80-some percent of the American people that are saying that.
