, become brazil's best customers. he wants us to become brazil's best customer. how about those american jobs he is killing and his administration is killing? his energy secretary, dr. chu, couple of years ago said, we have to find some way to make gasoline prices in america the same as they are in europe. we'll talk about that in a bit. and remind the american people that the president himself said that energy prices under his policies that he's promoting, would necessarily skyrocket. he wants americans' energy prices to skyrocket, putting people out of jobs, costing all these thousands of jobs, costing our economy millions and millions and trillions of dollars in all probability, eventually. certainly billions. he just gave a loan to brazil, $2 billion to produce jobs and produce oil in brazil, instead of producing oil in the gulf coast and off alaska. and the e.p.a. just denied energy production off alaska. it makes no sense. according to gulf coast residents said the president's policies already are helping make g
