Americans spent more on gas this year as percentage of their income than at any other time in 30 years. To most people this would be devastating news. Not to the man President Obama trusts to reinvigorate business, John Bryson. The new secretary of commerce, Bryson has advocated for higher energy prices for his entire public career — and still does.

Unfortunately, too few senators took notice of his radical views when they confirmed him this October.
