State of Economy Grounds for Price Controls on Gas and Diesel |

Posted by Dieseljim50 on Sun May 31 09:49:54 2009 With the state of the economy being what it is with more people being thrown out of work and the oil companies once gain sneaking back to their price gouging ways of last year, it seems to me that some sort of price controls would be in order. How is someone supposed to be looking for work put enough gas or diesel in his tank when the price is skyrocketing out of control. The low income people who want to better themselves are getting hit the hardest. perhaps to pay for a tankful of gas, one will have to start dealing drugs on the side, or resort to the use of a ski mask and a gun. Don 't tell me it is the law of supply and demand at work, when there are speculators manipulating the oil prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Perhaps a good dose of Oklahoma City is what the Financial district needs. The price gouging has to be stopped one way or another, by the use of force, if necessary. |
