Durbin says Republicans mistaken on supply
Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) says Republicans are making a fundamental mistake in analysis of supply and demand. He says Republicans plan to lower gas prices by leasing more of America to oil companies at bargain prices, allowing oil companies to make record profits. He says eight years, divided by two oil men, equals $4 gas. (0:46)
