Rep. Mike Rogers finally showed up in Michigan's 8th Congressional District, only to spread false hope about high gas prices.
The Livingston Press and Argus, in its editions for Tuesday (Sept. 16, 2008), says Rogers told the Brighton Chamber of Commerce:
"If the U.S. could tap into all of its potential oil reserves, Rogers said, the country could by 2015 generate all of its own oil and not buy a barrel from foreign countries."
Except that the U.S. has only 3 percent of the world's oil reserves. And it uses 25 percent of the oil in the market.
Sorry, Mike, but the math doesn't work on that.
The solution is not to get off foreign oil, but to begin moving away from oil entirely.

Republicans count on their supporters not caring enough to know the facts. I cannot believe their stupidity.
