CO-Sen: Government Getting Rich Off of Oil Companies, Sez Schaffer

This is the kind of things Republicans only say when they think they're not being recorded.

"But because prices are soaring, the reality is the federal government is raking in a bunch of cash right now on the backs of energy producers."
