Meanwhile, these lower oil prices are bankrupting our oil industry. A win for Obama in several ways and for the Saudis, because it eliminates the completion.
And our "Congress" won't lift a finger to investigate the possibility of such blatant corruption. Crony capitalism at its best!
It all depends on who you are. This is the same Congress that sent Trafficant to prison for not playing ball (7 years of his 8.5 years served were in solitary confinement, he really pissed somebody off). Do what the big boys/girls upstairs want and give them their cut, they couldn't give a crap if you're raiding pensions funds and kicking old retirees onto the street. But run afoul of the them and they'll find a way to prosecute you on something, anything.
So, you’d prefer $4 or $5 a gallon gasoline at the pumps, eh?
In your world, it’s quite acceptable to bankrupt the American people - specifically the middle class ... Funny how so many of the “elitists” here seem to have no problem with kicking the working stiff in the balls over and over again. I guess you get your effing jollies off of that, eh?
I really do not feel bad for the oil industry. They made a killing on we of the “less connected” peasantry class - and I rather enjoy not spending half my paycheck to fill my tank every other day. When you live in the sticks, and your job is 80 miles away (800 miles per week), that entails filling the tank every other day!
So you’d prefer it cost me 50-60 dollars for 14 gallons of gas, rather than 25-30, just to keep your buddies in the petroleum business rolling in the doe. Nice guy - Thanks a lot.
