Urgent: House Democrats call for nationalization of refineries

Per Pergram-Capitol Hill

House Democrats responded to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.

Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.

They also reasserted that the reason the Appropriations Committee markup (where the vote on the amendment to lift the ban) was cancelled so they could focus on preparing the supplemental Iraq spending bill for tomorrow.

At an off-camera briefing, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said the same. And a senior Republican House Appropriations Committee aide adds that "there were multiple reasons for the postponement" including discussion on the supplemental. But the aide said there was the thought that Democrats may wish to avoid a debate today on energy amendments.

Here are the highlights from briefing

We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market.

Why not allow the oil companies to do their business? If they abuse the public, then deal with it? No industry has been so observed by the powers that be of the government, after all the inquiries, no abuse found, so why not allow to do their thing?

Oh, just because they have so much wealth? Really, is that justification?

Maybe the free market will make them be fair to us magically. It's that invisible hand that no one can see but makes everyone in the world happy.
