House passes bill to crack down on gasoline ‘price gouging’

"'At a time when people across the country are feeling the pinch at the gas pump, Congress needs to be doing all it can to bring down costs for American families,' said Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., who co-sponsored the bill.

She called it 'infuriating' that spikes in gas prices were 'happening at the same time that gas and oil companies are making record profits and taking advantage of international crises to make a profit. This must stop.'"
