Majority Leader Boehner released the following statement today, following Republican plans for addressing America's energy needs and criticizing House Democrats "for consistently opposing every responsible energy proposal considered in the House over the last decade":
"House Republicans are committed to looking at every available solution to safeguard our economy, protect consumers, and address America's energy needs. The Energy Policy Act signed into law last year was an important first step in developing a comprehensive national energy policy, boosting U.S. energy supply and lowering demand, and fostering greater conservation and efficiency, but we must do more.
"As the party of obstruction that has repeatedly stonewalled every responsible proposal to help secure America's energy needs, Nancy Pelosi and congressional Democrats have absolutely no credibility on this issue. Time and time again, Democrats have chosen to put partisan politics ahead of the interests of working Americans, and voters across the country today are paying the price at the pump for their decade of negligence."
Whether it's energy, the economy, or national security, Republican have shown they are able to address the issues... Democrats just complain and do nothing.
