Gas Price Gouging

The House composed and considered a bill to increase government power to stop price gouging in the petroleum industry. And help increase gasoline supplies by encouraging building on new refineries. About time on both. NO no refineries have been built in over 30 years.

Naturally it almost went along party lines, but lucky for America the Republican won out.
By a narrow margin (2 votes) the House has sent its anti=price gouging bill to the Senate. Likely they will drag their feet, add amendments to water it down,... that is if the Democrats dont talk it do death.

Still leaves me wondering why common sense ain't so common.
