Fraud on American Public by the Republicans

High oil prices and drilling off shore in the US. Its a scam on the stupid.

What makes anybody believe that opening up oil drilling in the US to areas that were previously off limits is going to lower oil prices. If an oil company gets to drill in these areas a barrel of oil will go for whatever the market price is and that isn't likely to come down. The number one goal of these energy companies is to make money for themselves and the shareholders. To believe opening these areas up will lower any price at the pump is idiocy and a fraud on the American public perpetrated by the republicans.
