Gas Price BS!!!

[Duke41]

All oil speculation should be banned. Those greedy bastards are choking off the recovery. Sadly the US has been overwhelmed by the dark side of capitalism. Greed. Unless we deal with this issue, i believe we are screwed. The monster is eating itself.

Remember when gas was $2 and we thought it might even go to $3 !!!!!!!!!!
Well now that it's $3, and talk of going to $5, few seem concerned.

With the Mid East imploding we are going to take it on the chin.
We should have started drilling in Anwar, built new refineries and nuclear
plants 2 years ago.If we drilling today it would take 3-5 years before we
had results.

We are lacking a pro- active administration and now we are going
to pay the price big time.

No level of government - state, local or federal - nor either side of the aisle is pro-active. Our whole damn society only thinks about today, without considering tomorrow.

The ONLY pro-active thinking by ANY politician in this country is thinking about how they can screw everyone else and line their own pockets without getting caught.
The only good politician is........Oh wait, they don't exist.

Drilling in ANWR isn't going to do squat about prices.

This country has been beholden to the oil industry and our thirst for cheap gas.

Since 1910 or whenever Ford built the mass consumer car. It's not ever been easy to get away from cheap fuel.

We've never had a pro-active administration, when it came to reducing our dependence on imported oil. We've been giving lip-service to it since the first OPEC embargo in 1973, but none of them have actually done anything about it, unless you count Carter extending daylight savings time all year once, and turning down the thermostats in the White House.

Ya Mike, I remember when we were asked to use less
Chritmas lights for decorations too.
The extension of daylight savings time was short lived because
the kids were walking to school in the morning in the dark.
