Robert Reich: Why Republicans Aren't Mentioning the Real Cause of Rising Prices at the Gas Pump

Robert Reich: Why Republicans Aren't Mentioning the Real Cause of Rising Prices at the Gas Pump: "Gas prices continue to rise, which is finally giving Republicans an issue. Mitt Romney is demanding the President open up more domestic drilling; the super PAC behind Rick Santorum just released a new ad in Louisiana blasting the President on gas prices; and the GOP is attacking the White House on the Keystone XL Pipeline.

But the rise in gas prices has almost nothing to do with energy policy. It has everything to do with America's continuing failure to adequately regulate Wall Street. But don't hold your breath waiting for Republicans to tell the truth."
