Nancy, Nancy, Nancy,
Two short questions...then we can dialog....
1. What is the oil company profit per gallon?
2. What is the government tax (total, state, etc) per gallon?
Ready to talk, you ignorant b*tch?
I am tired of hearing these dumb Communist lines.
She ain’t American!
This is satire, right? Did she really say this? No politician could lie like this and expect not to be called on it.
Only with the help of the main stream media.......

Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people in all seriousness that ‘we must pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it,’ is not someone that American voters should ever take seriously about anything.
Not to mention her (one of many) idiotic statements that unemployment payments stimulate the economy.
NP , no good, lying, socialist Sl**, well you get the idea!
Where was the projectile vomit warning???
AUGUST 23, 2008
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband invested between $50,000 and $100,000 in T. Boone Pickens’s Clean Energy Fuels Corp., which could benefit from legislation the California Democrat favors to boost U.S. use of natural gas.
The Pelosis got in on the ground floor at Clean Energy, purchasing shares in an auction when Mr. Pickens publicly launched the company on May 25, 2007. The purchase is listed as stock held by the speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi.
We need gas stamps to go with our food stamps.
Save the poor.
Tell Congress to vote them in NOW !!
Is there not one Republican, with a pair, that will publicly call out this lying SOS?
Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law is given $737m of taxpayers’ money to build giant solar power plant in middle of the desert
Nancy Pelosi is facing accusations of cronyism after a solar energy project, which her brother-in-law has a stake in, landed a $737 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, despite the growing Solyndra scandal.
The massive loan agreement is raising new concerns about the use of taxpayers’ money as vast sums are invested in technology similar to that of the doomed energy project.
The SolarReserve project is backed by an energy investment fund where the Minority Leader’s brother-in-law Ronald Pelosi is second in command.
PCG Clean Energy & Technology Fund (East) LLC is listed as one of the investors in the project that has been given the staggering loan, which even dwarfs that given to failed company Solyndra.
Other investors include one of the major investors in Solyndra, which is run by one of the directors of Solyndra.
Steve Mitchell, who served on the board of directors at the bankrupt energy company, is also managing director of Argonaut Private Equity, which has invested in the latest project.
And why do we even have to listen?
Pelosi’s wealth grows by 62 percent.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress. Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday [6/15/2011]. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 milion in liabilities.
Reality check.
Petroleum imported from other countries, must be paid for in US dollars. When the value of the dollar is FALLING in relation to other currencies, this makes the dollar price of foreign petroleum HIGHER in relation to its value in other currencies.
Petroleum operations in foreign countries purchase cheap dollars, with their more valuable (and stable) currency, buy the oil, all the while bidding AGAINST US interests, then turn around and distribute the petroleum in their own countries at a real price LOWER than US citizens pay within our own country. While much of this advantage is used up by the proportionately higher taxes assessed in those countries, they are operating on a much wider margin in other countries as compared to the US domestic market. Wider margins=greater profit, and business interests follow profit, regardless of where it leads.
Oil produced within our own country, is not subject to currency exchange rates, and what you pay for domestic oil, is what you get. This may seem to be a somewhat arcane point, but bear with me. The more oil extracted and refined in this country, available for consumption here, the less we have to compete on the international market, and the more we are insulated from the effects of the falling value of the dollar in relation to other currencies.
The wellhead price of crude oil in North Dakota, for petroleum extracted from the Bakken formation, is about $60 per barrel, about half of Brent light crude, a similar grade tht is transported worldwide. The reason for the difference? Transportation costs from North Dakota to the refineries is so much higher because no adequate pipeline transport system now exists in many parts of this oil patch, and practically everything has to go by tank cars or truck transport.
And why is there no adequate transport system? Simple, the environmentalists have effectively so choked the application and licensing program with dictated delays, that it can take several years to actually make an operative system into a profitable enterprise.
And without profits, the system dies, withered on the vine.
Drill, baby, drill works, but only if it is allowed to proceed. And this regime now in the White Hut has no interest in allowing much of anything to proceed.
This is very touchy. When Oil Companies make a profit, their stock holders benefit. Who are the stock holders? Lots of us are. Our retirement plans are invested in oil companies. Mutual funds are invested in oil companies. So who wants to see the oil companies lose money? Oil goes down our portfolios go down too. Maybe oil companies should be nationalized. How much is a gallon of gas in Mexico compared to us and EU? I guess I’m some kind of a Socialist Conservative? Rhetorically speaking on all points.
April 28, 2011 - Did you know that the Obama Administration is subsidizing the oil industry in Brazil? Yep, that’s right. This, of course, is with the full knowledge and consent of House Squeaker Nancy Pelosi.
Obama: Drill, Brazil, Drill!

Yet there was Pelosi this morning, giving the old Lefty line about ending subsidies to Big Oil. (Translation: American Big Oil.)

Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 6:12:49 PM by Sub-Driver Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 06/10/2008 Pelosi Statement on Senate Republicans Blocking Legislation to Lower Gas Prices, Invest in Renewables
Washington, D.C. – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today in response to Senate Republicans blocking consideration of the Consumer-First Energy Act and the Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008:
“Senate Republicans have once again shown themselves to be unwilling to break free of the costly, failed Bush energy policies of the past. They have again adopted President Bush’s ‘drill and veto’ policy that is driving up the price of oil, diesel, and gasoline and leaving us dangerously reliant on Middle East oil.
“President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Senate Republicans have shown no leadership on energy issues for seven years, which is why we face a growing energy crisis. If Republicans will not lead us to a cleaner, more independent energy future for America then they should at least get out of the way.
“The House will soon put forward new, innovative legislation to help tackle high energy costs and make us more energy independent.”
So it is always the Republicans fault.
The House's legislation to tackle energy costs was apparently a giant failure under Democrat control of the House and Senate and Executive 2009 to 2011.
Those rascally Republicans again I guess.
And now, Ms Pelosi, being one of the 99%, finds it is Wall Street that is causing rising gas prices...... and those naughty Republicans again, even though they do not control the Senate and Executive are once again blocking any attempt to lower energy costs.
The woman is really a piece of dung. And the voters that elect her are just stupid as they come.
She's nothing more than a demagogue who offers no solutions other than failed policies, more wasteful spending and like a broken record can only blame Republicans.
I find her brand of politics the most distasteful of all and it's her partisan hackery that leads ever day to a less successful and weaker America.
She is a failure. Democrat policies are failures and I hope someday Americans wake up to this fact before they destroy their nation and their freedoms.
You are a tiresome old fool Nancy.
