 * Economy**


 * Title- Save our Economy, One Gallon at a Time.**


 * Purpose-** We believe that our bill would have a big affect on our country. Our bill's purpose is to decrease the gas prices in the United States that have increased greatly in the past few months. Lowering gas prices is our goal for the people. Our economy is being affected negatively because of the increasing gas prices. If we could lower the prices, people can afford gas and can have more money to spend on food or housing. Recently in the last quarter, bike salesman have been selling bikes all around the country since people do not want to pay the unreasonable price for gas.


 * Eligibility-** Our bill would like to refer to everyone in the United States, we would not like to exclude anyone. Gas Prices have recently increased in the past few months all around the country. People are experiencing difficulties with the prices since they have reached over 4 dollars and can not afford to buy so much gas. A lot of people use gas for other purposes other then driving their vehicles, like mowing the lawn, and heating their homes. Larger families in our country have bigger cars, which forces them to buy more gas because they use more gas. Everyone is being affected by the prices being increased and they are very upset that they have to buy more gas for an unreasonable price.

Save our Economy, One Gallon at a Time is proposing to lower the gas prices as soon as possible. Our Bill is confident of lowing gas prices to help our economy and the citizens in our country.
 * Terms and Benefits-**


 * Our first step is to increase the regulation of trade between the Middle East and the United States for oil. Trade between the United States and the 18 countries of the Middle East and North Africa continues to grow at a steady pace, particularly with those countries that have signed free trade agreements (FTAs) with the United States. That growth was spurred by the bilateral trade agreements, by a competitive dollar, and by high oil prices, which translated into rising purchasing power and greater imports. Since the trade is progressing at a steady pace, we want to increase the pace to make it go faster so we can get more oil faster and put it in our gas stations for the citizens.


 * Next, we need to increase drilling in the United States we can increase the drilling which gives America a bigger supply of petroleum. When there's a bigger supply then we can start to decrease the prices of gasoline since we have more petroleum to fill our gas stations. Gas Companies are already making billions of dollars from the gas prices being so high, so if we lowered the prices, the companies will still be making lots of money and the citizens will also be saving a lot of their own money. With increasing the drilling, it has a huge affect on the gas prices, because if we have more of the gas the gas prices should be lowered.


 * We will use lobbyists to persuade Congress to approve this bill. Save our Economy, One Gallon at a Time will hire several lobbyists to go around for us to Congress. The lobbyist will tell the Congress about how gas prices are affecting the country's economy and most importantly the people in the country. What will be told to the Congress is the prices and percentages of people having problems with money because of the gas being so high they can't go out. Our bill plans to tell the Congress several times so they can keep rehearing it and to get more convinced every time for them to agree with the high gas prices being lowered as soon as possible.
