i just watched the 2 new girly men on F&F agree that new drilling for oil would have no effect on the price of gasoline at the pump. Somebody needs to tell these two metrosexuals to keep their uninformed opinions to themselves.

Spread the word - Contact congress today July 15th
Let them know how you feel about drilling
Drill or get off the hill
Pelosi email if anyone is interested sf.nancy@mail.house.gov
They need to invite Hillary Clinton to come on and explain the futures markets to them.
It could easily have “no effect” on the world price of oil, while at the same time substantially reducing the US price of oil. If we use our own oil instead of foreign oil, then that will improve the balance of trade and increase the value of the dollar, which will in turn reduce the price of oil to US buyers.
Not only that, but if we drill at ANWR or offshore, then the oil companies will have to pay a royalty to the US government, which will increase government revenue without increasing taxes.
It’s a win-win, and the guys who are trying to say otherwise simply don’t understand economics.

Link just goes to foxnews.com. Is there a more direct link?
Someone needs to start asking the playback recorders, “if this is so, then why is gas free in Saudi Arabia and less than 50cents a gallon in many other major oil producing countries?”
The price of diesel is more important than that of gasoline. The price of diesel always goes up with supply shocks or uncertainties. Domestic supply reduces both.
They heavily subsidize it.
Tuned out of Fox News about a year ago. Once in a while I may tune in for a few minutes. After a few minutes I see why I tuned out. To call Fox News conservative is a joke. Maybe their conservative compared to MSNBC and CNN. However, they still lean left of center.
You’re on the wrong board.
DU and KOS would be very receptive to your oil nationalization/massive government subsidy program.
While FreeAtlanta did not include the socialized subsidy in his or her point, the parallel point that was made is valid. OPEC countries have a lot of oil supply, and therefore they do have an advantage in keeping their own fuel costs down.
The fact that they are state-owned monopolies producing the oil was beside FreeAtlanta’s point, I think.
FreeAtlanta, feel free to correct me if I have misstated something.
Vote with your remote.
Tune out FOX and unsubscribe, that’s what I did when FOX decided to backstab Duncan Hunter during the primaries and I don’t miss Rupert Murdoch’s morning blather one damn bit.
(Uh, switched to Diesel and drove the price of Diesel up...)
Venezuela heavily subsidizes the price of gas. They are in debt trillions of dollars to the World Bank for this skeem.
The point isn’t whether it will lower prices right away. It doesn’t take a genius or economic girly men to figure that out. Ask these people where we might be had clinton not vetoed the anwar bill. It’s a start and that’s all. We still have to get past the congressional ban on OSDrilling.
Is it really all that heavily subsidized, or is it just less transportation, no import/export terriffs, huge local supply? I am sure the free Saudi gas is subsidized at least some, but I am also pretty sure that the fuel is a lot cheaper at the source. We need to make the US our source.
We will bypass terriffs, stop sending our treasure overseas, create local jobs, probably do a better job with environmental care, and most importantly reduce prices at the pump!
They also give oil to Cuba and third world socialist/communist countries and support terrorism. I don't think supplying cheaper gas to their people gets them into as much debt as their support for FARC, Hamas, Castro, etc. That said, I am not promoting Government subsidies. I am promoting that products are usually cheaper at the source. We need to recreate ourselves at our own source.
