First profiteer I want inserted in the bill as the first brought before the “Reasonable Profits Board”, is all congress critters, senators, both federal and state. Their profits are obscene. Especially the ones who take bribes from OPEC bag men to derail domestic energy development.
Is anyone going to entertain the idea of having hearings into the obscene profits and price gouging by Congress? Seems to me their prices have been going up since about 1913, with no end in sight, and for what? We can’t even see or touch whatever it is they produce. And, besides, with global warning, there’s no longer much of a market for hot air, not that there ever has been.
A side-by-side comparison of the increase in government profits with oil company profits makes it clear who the real gougers are. Maybe all these hearings are really just a diversionary tactic.
And, at least in the consumer market, including oil, there is price fluctuation, and prices have actually been known to come down. Ever seen that in government?
