A Day in the Cuckoo's Nest; the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on Oil Prices

What assumptions do congressmen make about theAmerican
people? Do they assume that we’re dumb or ill-informed about the
energy problems we are experiencing? Every time there has been a
huge spike in gasoline prices, Congress hauls oil company executives
before their committees to accuse them of greed, obscene profits and
price-fixing.
