Putnam: America Hits $4 a Gallon on the Democrat Congress's Watch gop.gov June 8, 2008 WASHINGTON – AAA reports this morning that the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is now $4.00. In 14 states and the District of Columbia, average prices have already exceeded the once unthinkable $4 mark. As a result of this dubious milestone, motorists will pay on average $1.67 more per gallon than they were when the 110th Congress began – this represents a 71 percent increase during Nancy Pelosi’s speakership. Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL), Chairman of the House Republican Conference, released the following statement: “This is sure to be a day that Congressional Democrats will soon want to forget. On their watch, America has become a nation of $4 gasoline. This expensive milestone arrives two years removed from an endless stream of assurances by Democrat leaders that they had their hands on a ‘commonsense plan’ to lower gas prices. “Empty promises are really all that this out-of-touch Democrat-led Congress has offered to an American public that is all talked out at this point. What they want now are real solutions that will invest in American resources, create American jobs, and lower prices for American consumers. “As we have for weeks now, House Republicans will continue to offer the Democrat majority every opportunity to join us in putting an end to this broken status quo so we can begin producing more energy here at home.”
