10$ a gallon in Europe, so you have nothing to complain about.:eusa_drool:

But the problem in the US is the failed foreign policy, Cuba has large reserves of oil just outside Florida that are cheap and available. But US are not willing to buy from Cuba. The embargo on Iran does also create a price increase.

For cheaper gasoline, remove those trade regulations with Cuba, Venezuela,Iran etc. Let free market and free trade solve it and cheap gasoline will be available.

Trade with Cuba, Iran, venezuela etc. Free trade and free market,no embargos
 
if you understand supply and demand you understand that gas is directly tied to the price of oil. oil is also a commodity which is sold on the open markets and available for speculation. the GOP touts the free market system as the best system in the world. well this is a result of the free market system. if demand outpaces supply, prices increase. which is what is currently happening.

now you may say that its because Obama is limiting drilling on the north american shelf. this again is not true at all. Domestic drilling and oil production is at its highest level in history. the problem is that oil once again is a commodity and its price is set on the open market.

if the president were to unilaterally fix gas prices, then you could actually call him a socialist or a communist. since this is actually a part of the socialist / communist ideology. when the government control, fixes, or alters an industry unilaterally, it is in essence the definition of socialism / communism. if this is what the GOP/TP/Conservative want, its extremely hypocritical.

It is the intent of the Obama administration for US gasoline prices to rise to the level of those in Europe. I think they pay somewhere near $10/gallon.

(For all you liberals...I know they sell gas by the liter, not the gallon. That's an approximate equivalent price.)
 
if you start trading with Cuba / Iran, we increase imports on oil. which means more american wealth goes to states with hostile regimes. thats a sticky slope youre on

Intent? Have Proof?

Of course not.
 
Gas Gouging!!!


Or is that just capitalism, so we should just shut up?(In Miami, the good stuff is around $4.15 and reg around 3.85)


By the way, why is Gas gouging a crime? Why can't gas stations sell gas for whatever price they want to?

Obamas problem is his pro-Israel foreign policy. He needs to think more capitalistic and trade with those countries that has oil.

Cuba, Venezuela and Iran has large reserves and can sell for a low price, but Obama put government regulations on trade with those countries. Embargo on Cuba, embargo on Iran, embargo on Venezuela. Obamas regulations on free trade makes the oil more expensive.

Obama Energy Pick Backs Higher Gas Tax - ABC News

ABC News’ Teddy Davis Reports: Barack Obama’s pick for Department of Energy secretary backs higher gasoline taxes, a position which puts him at odds with the president-elect.
"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," Steven Chu, the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, told the Wall Street Journal in September.

This man is Obama's Secretary of Energy.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Domestic production is UP on PRIVATE lands and DOWN on FEDERAL lands. Please don't try to give Obama credit for something he has worked so hard to prevent, it makes you look REALLY stupid.

Funny how you left this part out

"a position which puts him at odds with the president-elect. "

and this part

"Raising the federal gasoline tax, however, has been dismissed by Obama. "

Keep cherry picking though, from articles from before Obama was actually even in office. Sad really.
 
you still dont understand the laws of supply and demand. it wont matter how much more we drill. the price of oil will still be tied to world markets. as long as india and china continue to consume at record rates, pricing will not fall.

and can you provide a link or any evidence that support your position?
 
as this spreads P-BO's re election dwindles in proportion. Of course this assumes that the GOP puts up a candidate that pledges to end the ecofascisti chokehold on energy policy in this nation.

That is in the heart of "Disposable Income Land".
That whole area is out to gouge prices on everything.

Supply is up and demand is down.

Now what?
