$5.00 Gas and no Socialists Mewling about "Obscene Profits"?

[Old Rocks]

We are exporting gasoline by the tanker load. No shortage of petroleum, no shortage of refinery capacity. Refined petroleum products have become our biggest export. You are paying for the worldwide competition for gasoline.

 

[daveman]

Not only that, they're saying it's a GOOD thing... So we're weened off of oil...


It's fargiin' hysterical......

I am a Democrat because I believe in the environment and conservation. For instance, we must raise the price of gasoline, like they do in Europe, to increase conservation. If we don't, there will soon be a big gas shortage, and this will mean higher gasoline prices for you and me.

Who is "we"? The government? Me?

The price of gasoline will rise and fall according to supply and demand. If there is a serious gas shortage, the price will rise on its own. If there is a limited supply of gas, however, and government keeps prices artificially low, then there will be a shortage. And that is exactly what happened in the 70s.

With that said, there is no coming oil shortage. Domestic oil production is at an 8 year high. Prices are rising because the dollar is losing value. The price of gasoline in terms of ounces of silver is constant.

I also believe in the environment and conservation, which is precisely why I believe in free markets and private property rights.

The article I linked is satire of liberal thinking.

 

[JiggsCasey]

so, the team that insists Bush didn't lie about anything rationalizes high energy prices this way:

"It's all a big liberal conspiracy!"

Noted.

 

[Oddball]

Nobody said anything like that.

Yet we have $4.00 - $5.00 gasoline and all that the lamestream media is mesmerised by is Rusty Limpbag and birth control.

Strange days indeed.

No bellyaching about "windfall profits" today, guys?

And the funny part is, government makes more money off a gallon of gas than the oil companies do.

And it's pretty obvious where those profits have been going as witnessed by the surge in drilling and domestic production.
The inustry reinvests its profits right back into the business of doing what they do best.

No, no. That can't be right. I've been reassured that oil company executives buy slaves and have marshmallow roasts over big piles of cash with all their obscene profits.

 

[Oddball]

C'mon libbies!!

Obscene profits?

Price gouging?

Exxon-Mobil?

Halliburton?

KBR?

Cheney?

Rove?

GEORGE BOOOOOOOOOOOOSH?

 

[elvis]

Remember when they said bush was in control of gas prices? That he was in bed with the oil companies and that was why we paid so much at the pump? When did the Ossiah take Bush's place as Prince Bandar's concubine?

[Dr.House]

That was different...

Somehow...

This is still Booooooosh's fault....

Only temporary,when all those millions that are NOT going to work,get back to work,we once again will have a refinery bottle neck. Your right we have plenty,but its not ready to come out of the ground,resources need to be developed,and new modern refineries,and pipelines most are old and are antiquated

Japan is looking at canada for natural gas,we should be selling to them,we have lots,but once again the irrational left is dragging their feet as hard as they can.New York state is a sad example of stupidity..

Well i think you can rest assured in your minds that Barry and his boys absolutely want gasoline to be this high. I really have no doubt that they wouldn't mind it to go even higher.
