President. a story in todays Los Angeles Times states that the approval rating of Congress is the lowest in a decade. The poll reported in todays Los Angeles Times says 27 percent of Americans approve of how Congress is doing its job. and most see business as usual. After Congress has diverted its attention from what I consider to be the most important domestic issue confronting the Nation today. that is. fixing our broken borders and actually enforcing our immigration laws. in order to have a vote of no confidence on the Attorney General in what is clearly a political exercise rather than anything that would produce a meaningful result. we now turn our attention to an important issue and one I hope Congress will embrace in order to address energy concerns in this country. Of course. we all knowall we have to do is to drive up to fill up our gas tankthe price of gasoline has gone through the roof. While it is true that Congress can pass laws and Congress can even repeal laws that have been passed by previous Congresses. what Congress cannot do is repeal the laws of supply and demand.
