I'll bet that Dicque Cheney is working right now with his "BIG OIL"
buddies to try to knock the price of gas down temporarily two weeks
before the November elections.


Sure he is Harry. Sure he is.

The blame for the price of oil doesn't reside with politicians, current
or past.
The blame resides with us.

I think a steep "excess profits tax" would tighten things up a hair, that
and members representing the public and responsible to it sitting on big
oil boards.

Try putting some value to the greenback would be more like it.

Jump interest rates to 15% to attract investment. Make the banks/owners
honor the sub-prime or fold. Big government prints money and bail outs are
just screwing the value of the USD on the world markets.

Say for example the USD currency was not so diluted by debt bail outs and so
forth, and 1/2 the dollars out there were not printed. The remaining
dollars would be twice as much and the cost of gasoline would go down to 1/2
of what it is. Or about $50 USD per barrel.

This problem of oil is a born in the USA issue, pure and simple. And if not
fixed, count on a big flush.
