House approves stiff gas-gouging penalties
MSNBC
Excerpt
WASHINGTON – The House, eager to do something about record high gasoline prices in advance of the Memorial Day weekend, voted narrowly Wednesday to approve stiff penalties for those found guilty of gasoline price gouging.
The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department to go after oil companies, traders or retail operators if they take “unfair advantage†or charge “unconscionably excessive†prices for gasoline and other fuels.
The White House called the measure a form of price controls that could result in fuel shortages. It said President Bush would be urged to veto the legislation should it pass Congress.
HLs Take
There is your proof that Bush is in the pockets of big oil, he has zero desire to help the people whatsoever. Our government is failing us at every level.

You said it yourself HL
What groups is our government comprised of?? Democrates and Republicans right? And here you say the government is failing us at every level.
Yet you can’t wait until the other group of failures takes over from the current group of failures?
When are you going to get it thru your head that a thief is a thief no matter what they are stealing??
