RE: Enough is enough!!!
That's the problem Alan, everyone wants it, but the politicians can't stop bickering over who's in control. I to am a republican and can't stand liberal tree huggers and my comment about the government helping wasn't meant to bea liberal statement, it was an irate statement because as I stated above, Dammit Enough is Enough.
I work for the state and it seems every time we get a little extra incentive in our pay checks either fuel goes up or the price of our health insurance goes up and we're right back where we were. I'm sorry for ranting and I'm not taking it out on you, becauseI agree with ya, I suppose like the old cliche' goes "I want my cake and eat it too", thanks for yours and everyone'sinput ... "D"

All I know is I want less government in my day-to-day life and I don't see how getting the government further involved in anything is going to help the situation.

If you think taxes are a problem take a look at this. Speculators are also one
of the biggest problems in the run up in fuel prices. This run up could be ended
if congress reacted to this the same way they did to the gold standard in the
early 80's.

Sublime, I believe you are correct.
Sooooo, If Exxon made 40 gazzilion in profits then Uncle Sam is laughing all the way to the bank. Uncle Sam does nothing to find, drill, ship, refine or take risk and they make more from it.

If you research this on average the oil companies make about .10-.15 per gallon when you factor in how much they must invest back in to their companies to get new oil resources, develop them, ship and process oil to make it a consumer product. Between the state and federal governments they make .40-.50 per gallon... Hmmmm... Not bad for NO RISK... And the democrats are sceaming about how they are going to spank the oil companies for making record profits... Of course they are making record profits, demand is up on a global scale.

I mis-spoke using the term gold standard. What I am refering to is speculating without taking delivery of
that commodity. The futures should be sold once and then taken not sold over and over again like stocks.
This would end because where would the marketsstore this commodity?
