Today’s podcast is all about oil. With gasoline prices soaring over $4 per gallon across much of the U.S., lawmakers are blaming Big Oil. Yesterday, oil company executives were called to testify on Capitol Hill… and essentially accused of gouging consumers. On today’s show, we break down the hearing… the argument over federal drilling leases… and the simple solution for rising prices at the pump. We also explain how to cut through the divisive political grandstanding… and profit from the U.S. government’s crazy energy policies.
