You can't bring a country of 315 million people out of a recession by catering to your group of voters. You have to bring money across the board.
When fracking lowered the price of fuel, everybody got a savings; some into the hundreds of dollars a month.
Companies saved thousands or tens of thousands a year. Workers saved hundreds. It was new money everybody had.
So people took that new money to repay debts, buy new things, invest. That was the key to getting out of the slump we were in, and it was by no help from Democrats who until today, protest against fracking.
I know you're aware but the Progressives have their own version of the facts.
Fracking increased in use not because of petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama but in SPITE of him. He did all he could to halt its use on federal government land but he could not halt the use on state or private land. That is where all gas came from, not from anything done by Obama.
President Obama wanted $4.00 to $5.00 per gallon gas. He wanted energy prices to "necessarily skyrocket" too. So, in fact, he failed at this too.
