What are you talking about?&#8221; Okay. Laws that the left made are raising gas prices in California. And the same thing is happening in New York. The very laws they demanded, the very laws they insisted on, are doing exactly what they wanted to be done.<\/p>\n<p>I have here a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/californias-gasoline-panic-11571786009\">Wall Street Journal editorial<\/a>. Let me give you a pull quote. &#8220;Californians in the future can look forward to paying more to drive on deteriorating roads as they head to homes without electricity due to blackouts. How long will it take California voters to figure out that these are problems made in Sacramento by [Democrat] politicians?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-Eviornment-Tree-Hugger-Liberal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-Eviornment-Tree-Hugger-Liberal.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-Eviornment-Tree-Hugger-Liberal-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not a Republican fingerprint on any policy in California the last 15 years. &#8220;Democrats in California have worked hard for years to inflate gasoline prices,\u201d because they don\u2019t want you using gasoline. You are destroying the planet. You\u2019re preventing life from existing after 2050.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow they\u2019re searching for a fall guy as voters gripe about how much they\u2019re paying to fill up.\u201d In some places it\u2019s six bucks a gallon. This is all because of left-wing policy, Democrat policy driven by environmentalist wackos. There\u2019s a column today in the New York Post. How many of you flinch when I say Boeing 737 Max 8? Guess what may have driven this whole debacle?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031319-737-Max-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031319-737-Max-8.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031319-737-Max-8-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Attempting to achieve demanding environmental regulations on emissions may have forced Boeing to make design compromises in aerodynamics that they tried to correct with software in the cockpit. It may well be that the Boeing 737 Max 8 is encountering problems because of pressure applied from environmentalist wackos and a bunch of corporate executive fear in resisting them and standing up to them and telling them to go pound sand and go to hell.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they tried to comply with these emission demands and regulations in order to save the planet from being inhabitable by 2050. Now they\u2019ve got an airplane grounded that may never fly again all because &#8212; I\u2019m telling you, folks, the left ruins everything it touches. It destroys everything. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s cultural, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s business.<\/p>\n<p>Californians in the future can look forward to paying more to drive on deteriorating roads as they head to homes without electricity, rolling blackouts because of the expected increase seasonal fires. See, the power companies are not allowed to clear-cut any of the kindling, i.e., dry timber that surrounds the power plants.<\/p>\n<p>So they have to go offline so as not to present an even greater threat to fire. They go offline a week here, two weeks there, customers got nothing. They gotta go out and get solar panels hooked up to batteries, to generator battery backups. Look at all they\u2019re paying for this, and they\u2019re getting nothing for it.<\/p>\n<p>And the Journal editorial, \u201cDemocrats in California have worked hard for years to inflate gasoline prices, but now they\u2019re searching for a fall guy as voters gripe about how much they\u2019re paying to fill up. Round up the usual fossil-fuel suspects! California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered state Attorney General Xavier Becerra to investigate oil companies for allegedly overcharging consumers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/californias-gasoline-panic-11571786009\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-WSJ-Opinion-TEARAWAY-102419.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-WSJ-Opinion-TEARAWAY-102419.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-WSJ-Opinion-TEARAWAY-102419-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>That\u2019s not what\u2019s going on. There\u2019s no overcharging here. It\u2019s getting more expensive to do business in California because it\u2019s exactly the policies and laws the left passed and implemented. \u201cGas prices in California average $4.13 per gallon, about $1.50 more than the rest of the U.S. \u2018The mystery surcharge adds up, especially for cost-conscious, working families,\u2019 the Governor declared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mystery surcharge? The mystery surcharge is government policy! They\u2019re making it more expensive for these fossil fuel businesses to do business. You\u2019re limiting their distribution abilities. What do you think\u2019s gonna happen to price? You\u2019re even trying to do away with \u2019em. You\u2019re trying to wipe out fossil fuels in the state of California and all over the country. What do you expect to happen?<\/p>\n<p>Folks, it\u2019s kind of like all of Washington. They run around and they rip you, they rip the deplorables, Hillary Clinton will come along and talk about how you\u2019re just a big bunch of deplorables, yet they expect you to keep making the country work. They expect you to keep getting up and going to work every day paying their damn fool tax increases, listening to them complain about what a bunch of dunderheads you are, how unsophisticated you are.<\/p>\n<p>They rip the hell out of you when you vote for somebody like Donald Trump and yet they expect you to keep doing what you\u2019re doing so that they can remain in fat city. And then when you don\u2019t, why, it\u2019s time to find the bogeyman.
