$5 a gallon oil in 2012

[M14 Shooter]

This is what the Conservatives want. Make sure that all the wealth goes to the very wealthy, whether they are here or abroad.

This is pure partisan bigotry, abject ignorance, or both.

Or the truth. They support the dumbest most anti average American representatives that get MOST of their re-election war chests from those whose only interest is to siphon off as much of Americas wealth as humanly possible leaving the rest of us to fight over the scraps.

Really? The First Responders Bill. Paid for by a minor tax on the untaxed corperate profits leaving the US. But the Republicans would rather see Americans who responded to 9-11 die bankrupt than see very wealthy foreign coperations taxed.

And they chose to hold up funds that amount to about 40 billion for the unemployed, until the very wealthy were given another 200 billion for sure, and nearly a trillion if the extended tax break is made permanent, as they so desire.

Anything at all that would help the average citizen has been voted against by the Conservatives, while anything at all that would increase the wealth of the already very wealthy has been pushed by the Republican Party. Just a fact.

Really?

Yes. If you knew anything about conservatives, you'd know that they want EVERYONE to succeeed to the point where EVERYONE can provide for themselves. Just a fact.

So, I'll let you decide for yourself if your statement was made out of ignorance or bigotry.

why not pay for it the way the GOP wanted, by using already appropriated funds that were sitting unused

America needs to become dependent on our own oil reserve that are all over this country...You can have your crappy hybrids and whatever the hell you want o make you feel better about yourself but i sell cars and let me tell you ..the disposing of your lithium ion powered batteries in your precious prius does more damage to the environment then oil does.. fossil fuels are the way to go and will be until we find a power that is close to it and not a battery , hydrogen , or anything else....

p.s. hows e85 been doing for everyone? that was suppose to help us to...flex fuel what a joke.

When comparing the amount of petrol the United States consumes to the amount of oil reserves they have, you'll notice that those resources will be gobbled up in such a short period of time that the drilling will not have been worth it.

It's time to face the fact that peak oil has arrived, the population of Earth is out of control and the only way to prevent disaster is to find a way to stop using oil yet maintain our way of life. Though since the last suggestion is an impossibility and considering the United States entire infrastructure relies on oil, we're most likely going to be utterly hosed in the near future.

 

[editec]

Bones these people are having too much fun trying to score partisan points to much care about the fact that the cost of energy will screw their nation.

I'm becoming convinced that partisans (from both teams) are basically traitors to the nation.

The put their own goofy parties ahead of the nation both claim to love.

If "the drilling is not worth it," then it won't be done.

 

[Mr. Sauerkraut]

we´re paying more than 7 $ per gallon right now. Drive gas saving cars and you haven´t a problem.

going back? No, better idea:

 

[High_Gravity]

The only idea I can think of is move closer to where your job is, close enough where it is a short drive or maybe even close enough to where you walk to work, several people at my job do that. If theres a grocery store close by as well your set, you won't really need to drive anywhere. The people that choose to work in the city but live an hour away in the suburbs are going to get fucked by these high ass gas prices.

would be kinda hard to go on a date in that

We need bold leadership now! If gas hits $5 a gallon this year some smart candidate should declare that he or she will nationalize our oil as the highest priority to our security and our economic future. Now before some of you fuckwits cry "communism" I'll answer that with "Go fuck your stupid willfully ignorant traitor selves".

If we are going to maintain our lead and presence in this world we have to assert ourselves and claim what is ours.

We "claim" exceptional ism when it suits us to invade countries on the other side of the planet when ever we want.

The only way to guarantee costs be controlled in business is lower the cost of doing business. One of the biggest costs is fuel and energy.

After the traitors AKA the corporations that sent our manufacturing jobs to other countries have shown their true colors as far as I an concerned they have not a damn thing coming. This is war. In war one must do EVERYTHING in one's power to win. That is how we beat the AXIS in WWII in three and a half years. We played full court press and used every weapon at our disposal.

Were we "communists" by rationing fuel during the big one? Were we socialists by nationalizing commodities such as copper and rubber?

The free ride is OVER for the speculators on critical commodities. Anyone caught trying to manipulate a commodity of national security importance should be arrested and put in prison.

You stupid greedy assholes that want to speculate on pork bellies and orange juice futures have at it. You so much as think about profiting again on a commodity that involves our national security and you will be enjoying your last years with your celly Bubba.

Just sayin.... Grow some balls people. It's still OUR world if we are not ready to give it away.

 

[Mr. Sauerkraut]

Volkswagen "1 Liter Car". This thing drives 62,5 miles with 1 Liter of fuel or 237,5 miles per gallon. No kidding.

Demand it and we build it.

"Lower the cost of doing business."

Would that include the cost of doing business in the oil and gas industry?

Of course not- that's just not balls now is it?

You think that shit grows on trees or free-flows straight to the refinery?

Still included in Obama's budget proposal - $40 billion plus in taxes on the DOMESTIC oil and gas industry.

Now that's some BALLS.

Nationalizing our oil reserves would not put any Americans out of work. If we kicked the multinational corps out of our oil industry that doesn't mean we would lose a beat in anything. We already know where the oil is...we don't need them. The government could easily subcontract for drilling and exploration. That's what the oil companies do anyway. What it would do is take OUR oil off the market. That would not prohibit us from buying more as needed. It would lower the price at the pump.

"Multinational corps"?

I don't think you realize who's doing the work in this country. Independents produce approximately 68% of our oil, 85% of our natural gas and drill almost 90% of the country’s wells.

If you're just being facetious here, I'll bow out and let you get on with the tongue-in-cheek monologue.

And what purpose is served by taking OUR oil off the market? You realize crude imports account for the majority of the trade deficit?
