‘As investors are fleeing to commodities such as oil, gold, wheat and corn, people are starting to look at Washington, D.C., to curb speculation, Kyser said”
Now why would Washington do that? I bet if someone would start connecting some dots, it might be found that alot of these speculators are tied with the Democrats. Soros to begin with would be one.

Remember to thank the spineless republocants while you’re at it. We are the blind leading the blind.
Ping to Post 28? I’m sorry but I can’t read it worth a damn.
Ping to post #85
Ping to post 85. PSA stickers for the gas pumps in your area reminding everyone gas prices are the Dems fault. But don’t let their video cameras catch you.
Does it pay well to be a seminar poster Willie Green?"
Go pound sand you idiot. The only one spouting an agenda is your stupid lame brain. You're like a skipping record, more oil, more oil, more oil, more oil, supply is not driving the cost of gas up. I provided you with several news stories, you've provided me with your opinion, stupid as it may be.
Does it pay well to be a dumb-ass???? You've added exactly bubkus to this discussion. Now go away before your Mommy grounds you from the internet.
Too bad. That would take strong leadership, willing to send a message. We don’t have that kind of leadership.
They’ll keep raising the price of fuel, causing all other prices to rise as they are now, causing all kinds of economic hardship across the board.
Lets look at who’s making money off this. The oil industry, the A-rabs, the Feds, and local state governments in the form of taxes. They know as well as I do, if this keeps up, even many of the people renting wont be able to pay their rents, pay their bills. People will stop buying all kinds of crap, hurting most everyone economically, tourism, restaurants and big ticket items will only be afforded to the well off.
I think they want to see how much they can squeeze out of everyone, until the whole game totally collapses, and if prices continue upward, it will.
I think it's speculation for investment's sake that is driving it up. Profits have to be found somewhere and the money that was going into the housing markets are going into commodities now. Just a little snippet from a story that I found:
Crude oil futures had the highest volume of commodity futures contracts from January - October 2007 at 101.5 million contracts traded. That was an increase of 79 percent over the previous year.
“At least he might, where the two Democrats will never.”
Naw, they’ve probably already seen the light. They just won’t do anything because environmental protection is the new smokescreen big government RATs like Hitlery and Obama are hiding behind while they expand the government to deal with the “problem”.
Too bad people are so brainwashed by the envirowhackos and “global warming” that such facts go in one ear and out the other.
Higher gass cost, couples with the higher cost of transport for food, drives prices higher, driving the value of the dollar lower, and in essence pissing off a lot of people who can't afford a rise in either and still make the bills.
I am wondering if someone with that global kid of power to control the markets is it work. *cough*Soros*cough*
And all those Republicans like Norm Coleman, Katherine Harris, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen get off scott free?
You have my permission to add Norm Coleman, Katherine Harris, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to those stickers if you so choose.
I supplied just as much fact to this argument as you have you worthless seminar poster.
How much are you being paid by the wacko environmentalists?
Your silly news stories gleaned from agenda driven sources mean nothing.
Go back to daily Kos and Democratic Underground if you want your marxist delusions to be appreciated.
Maybe you can post your way into an economic advisory post for Mugabe or Chavez.
Good work, this should rattle a liberals.
Thank you.
A guy at work last week told me that someone had punched holes in the dual tanks of a neighbor’s older F-150 and made off with almost 40 gallons of gas.
The government controls and limits the exploration, drilling and refining of the product. Source countries control the production, shipping and fix prices. Oil companies make record profits after rumor, natural disasters, and during war.
I don't see anything normal about the oil market.
