But they’ll shut down a grocery store for selling milk below price to US!

Yes, 18 Cents a Gallon
The next time your filling up at the pump for $4 a gallon just take solace in the fact that Venezuelans are paying 18 cents a gallon, too bad Dow Chemical hasn`t represented your interests on this issue in the past!

Why should Dow Chemical be interested in our interests?
They are in the business of making a company profit.
They own the oil, we don't, and our Govt. doesn't either.- tom

As with most transactions there are winners and losers, and US consumers are the big loser while refiners and the corporations that own them are the big winners. In short, the US consumer is subsidizing the refiners’ profit margins.

What? Since when do corporations "owe" the US consumer anything? They are in business to make a profit. And, aren't all the profits of a business in effect "subsidized" by the consumer? This article is all over the place with its logic.

Its not about the 18 cents in the hands of a sworn enemy of America, it’s about how much kickback a Congressman can get. You gotta get your priorties straight.

Corruption of Man, instead of “In God we Trust”.

Choice comes with consequence.

We sell exports at a profit. We are not subsidizing Venezuela. If we sell less total volume (domestic plus exports), it is not going to lower the price of gasoline domestic. We just refine less and have associated jobs.
