We just voted to crackdown on price gouging at gas stations and every single republican voted no.

The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act would give the President the power to issue an Energy Emergency Declaration that would make it unlawful to increase gasoline and home energy fuel prices in an excessive or exploitative manner.


A bill to help against Price Gouging and corporations cutting the "little guy" by messing with oil and gas prices in the country was voted "Nay" by every House GOP member.

These are the same folks who go to any camera they can find and complain about gas prices. Thoughts?


EDIT: Full Bill (thanks to Kosh)

It was against their political interests.

Is their political interest to make things as shit as possible so they have a shot at the 2022 Midterms?

Or is their political interest to help Americans who voted for them?

Good. This is not the job of the Fed Govt.

They can't do anything that might help.

They're afraid Biden would get credit. They can't have that.

Where is your evidence that this legislation would have helped anybody and that it's nothing more than window dressing? There is gouging and then there are simply higher prices due to market forces. The Democratic Party never seems to understand the difference between the two.

And what about the 4 Dems who also voted against it?
This was nothing more than a feel good, "hey look what we're doing to fight high gas prices" stunt by Dems that would have accomplished nothing.
