So the oil future traders get rich and stick it to you. Many here support the concept.
Speculators are a symptom of the problem, not the problem. Speculators can only profit in a market that has inelastic of supply.
By clinging to our pathetic 1970s era Energy policy of "conservation, not consumption" we have allowed the supply in the Oil market to get so inelastic the Future traders can game it. Fix the supply problem and you fix the speculation problem.
But I know, too difficult for the Dincon whiners around here to grasp that complex a notion.
Cut your whining about people making money. Nobody here supports people getting rich off of a dumb government program, and we don't mind futures traders making money in the futures markets.
You are a whiny liberal who hates everyone who does better than you, go to DU were you can hang out with your comrades.
I know, like most of our resident Leftists pretending to be “betrayed Conservatives” you aren’t intrested in fact and real life solutions, you just want something to whine about.
