U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland refused to say if gas prices were "too high" during a hearing on Thursday when asked by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo.<\/p>\n

Barrasso pressed her on the question repeatedly.<\/p>\n

"Do you believe that gas prices are too high?," Barrasso asked Haaland.<\/p>\n

"I completely understand the crunch that so many Americans are under right now," she said. "I mean, I’m thinking back. I’ve been driving since I was about 18, so it’s, I know that we’ve had other — you know, I remember back when there were lines back out the gas stations and that kind of thing." <\/p>\n

"I think that Americans are still recovering from this terrible pandemic and there are a lot of other world events making things difficult for all of us," Haaland added.<\/p>\n

Barrasso noted that Haaland didn't directly answer the question, and asked what the department is doing to address "this terrible pain that Americans are suffering under these high gas prices."<\/p>\n

Still, Haaland didn't answer the question, and said "We’re doing all we can."<\/p>\n

"We’re doing all we can, senator. As we’ve mentioned several times today, production on Federal lands is up," Haaland said. "But the production is also up. It’s at an all-time high, more than a billion barrels."<\/p>\n
