Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) says, in a news conference at the outdoors Eastern Market, that the President is not holding oil companies accountable for high prices and higher profits.
Dorgan says that the Emergency Supplemental Bill would help agriculture in the case of disaster and offset some of the cost of energy, yet President Bush says he will veto the bill. Dorgan says it is time to protect families and farmers by instituting a Windfall Profits Rebate where the money will go back to the consumers (:50).
