YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A family trucking business in a small Midwestern town is doing everything right—but every trip to the diesel pump gets more expensive.

Most people blame the president.

But what if we're blaming the wrong branch of government?

Today's 5-minute Opening Argument tells the story of one truck driver, one gas station clerk, and the forgotten role Congress was created to play. When fuel prices rise because of war, who is actually responsible for stopping it?

Maybe the clerk had the best answer of all.
