ROTFLMAO! This is all the RAT-controlled majority can do, i.e., NOTHING. OPEC members are doing their own laughing as they cut production even more. Sheesh!
I never know whether to laugh or cry when I see this kind of effluent from the halls of congress. The arrogance of these b@st@rds is unbounded. IF it were possible to bring those countries under US law, it would be possible to bring the US under their law. IF those governments were legally told what price to sell their product to us, they would stop selling to us. IF they were legally told what price to sell to the world, they would simply stop pumping oil until congress cried "Uncle." It ain't gonna rot there in the ground, waiting for a more propitious (for them) market.
And, congress doesn't have the time to legislatively set the wheels in motion to begin pumping our own oil.
I’m planning to sue idiotic members of Congress that refuse to allow us to drill for the 112 billion barrels of accessible oil within our borders...
Oh Boy let me get this straight....the Democratically controlled House is sueing the union of oil producing countries? I’m sure of one thing somehow this will cost us taxpayers dearly!
The blind leading the blind.
Stupid asses!
On one hand we have oil prices:
“This bill guarantees that oil prices will reflect supply and demand economic rules, instead of wildly speculative and perhaps illegal activities,”
On the other hand we have housing prices
“This bill guarantees that housing prices will not reflect supply and demand economic rules, but wildly speculative and perhaps illegal activities,”
The irony is too much
King Canute vs. North Sea comes to mind. Still valid.
Is there a fumarase deficiency requirement for election to Congress?
uh...
I'll have to come back later. I can't think of a response right now that doesn't make extensive use of profanities.
Ping.
Just when you think Congress can’t get any more stupid...
I can't wait to hear Levin rip them a new one over this.
I have a niece that thinks America’s economic “problems” are caused by the Federal Reserve ... ala Ron Paul; so she sent me Ron Paul’s book, “The Revolution.”
Ron Paul, a US Congressman, states on page 155 of that book: “ ... that the Federal Reserve, ... is itself responsible for our financial mess.” — without seeming to realize that it was Congress that gave us the Federal Reserve.
Since the beginning of the United States of America, the US Congress has continually screwed things up.
As Mark Twain said: “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
Congress should have 1) begun new drilling, 2) begun
new energy production technology (with the removal of the
present obstructive Patent Examiners and their bosses
who work for other countries and the IAEA, rather than
America), and 3) begun to encourage American ingenuity,
consistent with the US Constitution.
But, at the end of this day, it is all about them, them, them.
Maybe they can sue God for not creating enough oil. They would surely win because, let’s face it, where would God get a lawyer?
...and people wonder why the Euros and others want more of these kinds of pols in our government...having these folks in charge of our country makes it a lot easier for other countries to take advantage of us.
Where are the adults?
Epitomizes the unwitting arrogance of Washington.
