I didn’t see an article at the link....

Do you have reference to a piece of legislation?

You know, if you think government expenditures are bad now, see what the cost of nationalizing the oil refining industry will do. The 5th Amendment is still out there, the government will have to fairly compensate the refinery owners. That will be one steep price tag.

“... all US refineries nationalized!!”

Fine, build new ones in Peru.

So much for the US economy, or economics 101 for that matter.

Democrat Marxists thinking that Comrade Obama can show them the way. Marxism is what it is, Democrat Marxists are what they are. Time we call them what they rightfully are, disciple of Karl Marx ..

Now you know why the Democrat Marxists were visiting with Hugo Chavez. And you thought it was a courtesy call.

The one thing this proposal doesn't include is expanding the country's refinery assets. When government gets involved in running the oil business, everything becomes political football. It should get out of the way and allow the oil companies to provide America with the energy it needs.

"Going"? "Gone" is a better word.

Unfortunately, this is true as reported for the last 10 minutes of Neil Cavuto’s show today.....

Nationalize all the domestic Oil Refineries and Congress to set the price of gas.....

Neil was incredulous, said he expected this of Chavez, not the US Congress....

Hope you have more straw, but if you do, don’t tell anyone of the Demoncrats will nationalize it.....

After Kelo v. New London? Doubtful.

They will justify their theft by saying that it's in the "national interest."
