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,I thought it was "all Bush's fault" when the oil companies used to do that. How come they are still doing it under Obama? They must be "Obama's Oil Buddies" now. it seems to me that some sort of price controls would be in order. I would agree...but it seems that both the Republicans AND the Democrats are scared shitless of them, so never do anything like that. Don 't tell me it is the law of supply and demand at work, when there are speculators manipulating the oil prices You are correct, it's not supply and demand, and that speculators are allowed to play with the prices like this is reprehensible. 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. Your post was great until you had to ruin it with this out of control sentence at the end. |
