"There is no problem that is not so bad that it cannot be made worse by Congress fixing it." --REBierce
The heads of U.S. oil companies completed the second stage of their Congressional Big-Oil-Bash-Athon yesterday by answering questions from largely-economically illiterate congressmen--and women.
Congress took time out from pandering in person to pander in front of the TV cameras. The big winner of the "Comrade Stalin" award was Maxine Waters, who threatened to nationalize (seize) the oil company's assets.
Apparently, Waters is committed to bring the same brand of efficiency to the oil companies that government has demonstrated at the Post Office and Social Security.

Waters doesn't remember the past: therefore, like the Flying Dutchmen, she's condemned to wander around in a haze, searching for a Congressional "fix".

If you thought our energy problems are serious now, just wait until the government gets their inept paws into processing and distribution.

Don’t worry, they will practice with Health Care.
There has been more than one Freeper over the last few days that have suggested that the government force oil companies to lower the price of their product.

The frustrating thing is the dhimmirat voters who vehemently deny that they support communism.
Be honest, dhimmis - you’re either a commie or ignorant if you pull the “D” lever in the booth.
What a great idea! She can do for America what Mugabe did for Zimbabwe. As bad as the oil situation is, she’s come up with the only solution that is absolutely guaranteed to make it worse!!
Maxine Waters was also expressing astonishment that there was trouble on the border. A GOOD candidate is challenging her. Help him out!

There’s a simple way congress could help with oil prices and I don’t think any Freeper would complain. If they stopped spending so much money the dollar might recover a bit of its value. Until Congress figures that one out I fear the effect of their “new solutions.”
Atlas is not just shrugging, he’s headed outta town on the first train........
I’m getting a Who is John Galt? bumper sticker.
Pitchforks and torches baby - that’s all they’ll listen to.
Ask Venezuela, Russia, Mexico, Nigeria, and all the other countries that nationalized their oil industries what it did to their output levels and exploration efficencies.
If it didn’t affect the majority,
I’d rather Marxine stayed there as the perfect example of the perfect dhimmirat.
Maxine also grows and rolls her own...don’t put too much stock in her statements...she can’t remember what she says most of the time anyway!
She can do for America what Mugabe did for Zimbabwe.
Yay! Billion dollars bills for everyone : )
Better make that “WHERE is John Galt!?!?”..........
I think the weave, wig or relaxer is short wiring her thought process and frying her brain. Standing on one or two brain cells?/Just Asking - seoul62........
If Obama wins, this harridan might just get her way...
Ted Hayes is an urban hustler in LA. Do some research (beyond just Hayes’ website)
