   (From Sixth District Congressman Sam Graves)   
   When I went to fill up my truck last weekend, I paid over $3.80   
   a gallon. That’s almost unheard of in Northwest Missouri. The   
   record high average gas price just down the road in St. Joseph   
   is just $3.89 a gallon.   
      
   The bad part is, we’ve been relatively fortunate here in North   
   Missouri. Across the country, gas prices are average $4.27 a   
   gallon today. If you happen to live in Northeast Missouri and   
   have to travel across the river to Illinois, make sure you fill   
   up your tank before you cross the river. Gas is running over   
   $4.50 a gallon in Illinois.   
      
   All of this is putting a hurting on families. It’s been hard   
   enough to make ends meet with rising inflation, skyrocketing gas   
   prices are making it almost impossible. This isn’t just   
   impacting folks directly, but indirectly too. Virtually every   
   link in the supply chain depends on fuel to get products to   
   market and when fuel prices skyrocket like this, it impacts the   
   price of virtually everything.   
      
   That’s especially true for farmers. A friend of mine over in   
   Salisbury filled his one-ton feed truck up the other day and it   
   cost him $300.   
      
   On top of that, prices for fertilizer, seed, and other inputs   
   have skyrocketed with inflation as well. That’s created a lot of   
   problems. Even though farmers are looking at record high prices   
   for their products, the price of production has risen even   
   higher, putting the squeeze on family farms everywhere.   
      
   The real shame is that all of this could have been avoided. Even   
   though President Biden likes to blame Russia’s invasion of   
   Ukraine for the high prices we’re seeing at the pump right now,   
   prices were rising long before then. This isn’t a problem weeks   
   in the making, it’s a problem years in the making.   
      
   On his first day in office, President Biden cancelled the   
   Keystone XL Pipeline, which promised to bring in more crude oil   
   from our ally Canada than we had been importing from Russia.   
   That’s just one example. Left wing environmentalists and   
   politicians have been obstructing pipeline and drilling projects   
   for years—driving down oil production and driving up costs at   
   the pump in the name of climate change.   
      
   Enough is enough. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can and   
   should make America energy independent. Until we do, we’re going   
   to keep feeling this pain at the pump.
