Show me where in history government has done anything cheaply? Besides that only leftist dicatators nationalize industries.

A redistribution of wealth that doesn't belong to you so the poor, downtroden (you can read that as ignorant or unwilling to work),can have a "fair" shot. Tell me again how that's not communist. <BR/><BR/>There is plenty of blame to go around, but most of it can be laid at the feet of the politicians. The oil companies are what they are and do what they do. I don't get the takining without paying refence either. What was taken from you without payment? <BR/><BR/>Doing what you suggest would, in my view be the final nail in the coffin of the US of A. If that is your goal, by all means, carry on.Marine 83https://www.blogger.com/profile/14754070643265022189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291961545993258201.post-10428376136492493322008-06-30T21:26:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:26:00.000-07:00Mine is but a sad shadow of a real garden.

Today that same ounce still buys about the same amount of gas. That means that the only thing that has changed is the amount of dollars in circulation. Don't be upset with traders, they're the ones letting you know how screwed up the system is.<BR/><BR/>Oil producers say, ok, you wanna pay us in dollars? Hmmm, is that your printing press I hear overheating back there? Better give me a few more dollars to make up for all those extra ones you're making.<BR/><BR/>It ain't speculation baby, it's your pocket being picked by your elected leaders, who borrow from the Fed and pay it back on our backs but never quite do...and the Fed is always happy to do it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199955809330662015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291961545993258201.post-22495394116301033522008-06-30T20:42:00.000-07:002008-06-30T20:42:00.000-07:00I always thought PNW stood forPreppie-Nature-Wingn...I always thought PNW stood for<BR/>Preppie-Nature-Wingnuts!

Nixon's price freezes and rationing, where you could only buy a few gallons every other day in hour-long lines, was worse IMO. The government will not be able to make the refineries produce more, our oil wells produce more, or other countries accept our debased currency at the rates it used to command.<BR/>Look at silver vs. oil. You can buy a gallon of gas for a silver quarter, just as you could in 1964. The difference is our government spending more than it has, making our dollars worth less. Economic statistics are doctored, showing unemployment less than actual, production more than it is. The official inflation rate has very little acquaintance with reality. Government is busy lying to us, and this mess is of their making.tweellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164718561825615886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291961545993258201.post-19079204142100283822008-06-30T13:47:00.000-07:002008-06-30T13:47:00.000-07:00What is now happening to the American citizen is g...What is now happening to the American citizen is grounds for a revolution.Selous Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361069158893480853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291961545993258201.post-42105277182555416612008-06-30T12:49:00.000-07:002008-06-30T12:49:00.000-07:00Drill and build refineries that is the way to brin...Drill and build refineries that is the way to bring down oil prices.

The cause of oil price increases is that the dollar is worth nearly nothing - which is why food costs so much too. A very small percentage of oil sold in the US is traded on the futures markets. While some may be making money it is not the cause of increased cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
