[The EU gets 40% of its gas from Russia, we get 7 %] This will result in another major increase in prices. Will you still blame the never built XL pipeline?? Would you like the Ukrainians to surrender today so we can save a dollar a gallon and happily let Russia back into the international community as business partners and bankers?

Sometimes indeed freedom isn't free. Will you support a federal program to give financial support to those who need to use their vehicles for business use during this time of international disruption.. caused by Putin? That support should not come to me or likely you as we use gasoline for pleasure mostly.
