“I'm here to talk about the Pelosi Premium. Once a nightmare scenario, $4 gasoline may soon become a harsh reality on Speaker Pelosi's watch. Today, drivers are paying a dollar more per gallon at the pump than when the Speaker took office. This Pelosi Premium is hitting working families hard at a time when they are confronting soaring costs, a slowing economy and a housing crunch. Middle-class families and their increasingly tight budgets need relief, not more broken promises. We're operating under a set of broken promises. Speaker Pelosi promised the American people a commonsense plan to lower gasoline prices, but House Democrats have not only failed to offer any meaningful solutions, they've put forward policies that will have precisely the opposite effect. We cannot tax middle-class families' and truckers' tanks from empty to full. Since Democrats took control of Congress, gasoline prices have skyrocketed by more than $1 per gallon forcing worker families to pay a Pelosi Premium at the pump.”
