i just watched the 2 new girly men on F&F agree that new drilling for oil would have no effect on the price of gasoline at the pump. Somebody needs to tell these two metrosexuals to keep their uninformed opinions to themselves.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
“Bunch of lemmings. This silly mantra of more supply won’t reduce costs goes against every thread of logic and makes these goats look silly.”
Not that those babbling that drilling won’t reduce the price of gasoline have thought it through this far, but the new drilling and any resulting new supply will have to increase faster than new demand for crude. We have to improve the supply demand picture, knowing that demand will also increase along with supply.
as i understand it, the congressional ban on drilling will expire at the end of September this year. i think that they will find it impossible to extend it but i hope they try because that should lead to lots of incumbents being thrown out by the voters. i think this was a part ot W’s strategy for coming out strong yesterday and lifting his ban.
Pelosi...
Well, I do want legistlation that would block the greens from sueing once the permit is granted. And, I would like there to be only 1 permit that is guaranteed to be approved/denied within 3 to 6 months. Also, if one national standard gasoline formula instead of the dozens of regional/seasonal formulas.
Contact congress today July 15th
Lets flood them with calls and emails
Pelosi email AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov
don’t see a problem there. If i were a young man, i would consider joining for that exact purpose.
Just got an email from Pelosi
Unless I am in her district all email must be sent to
Lets flood this witch!!
“I am sure the free Saudi gas is subsidized at least some, but I am also pretty sure that the fuel is a lot cheaper at the source.”
The cost of producing Saudi oil is around $.50 to $2.00 per barrel. So, if the cost of crude is 70% of the cost of gasoline (in the news lately), then their gasoline is costing them very little. I think several of the Middle Eastern oil producers have to send their crude out of country to be refined, but their gas could still sell for $.50 per gallon or less without much subsidy. (Unless the cost is being inflated by all sorts of useless middle men taking their cut.)
He said it was for pure selfish reasons. I don’t agree.
So no opinion other than your own should be allowed? I think you are fast approaching the liberal mindset with that kind of thinking.

Venezuela paid off its World Bank debt. It owes the WB nothing. Total debt is in the trillions of bolivars, not dollars. I think that’s about US$7.98.
I tuned out prior to that because they turned in the Natalie Holloway, Britney, Paris, famous/infamous/exploited/victim white girl news channel.
That is billions of dollars, $26.5 billion to be close. http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news/1640 I don’t put much stock in anything posted by Venezuelanalysis but I do know they are within a couple of billion.
They heavily subsidize it.
When you produce more than you consume theres no need to subsidize.
Some enterprising soul should start producing “Merry Christmas” cards “from the dims”. Like: “Sorry My Child. No Christmas Presents This Year. Not Even A Lump of Coal In Your Stocking. The Only Thing Santa Could Afford This Year Was This Card With A Picture Of The Speaker Of The House, Nancy Pelosi. Merry Christmas”...
Digging for diamonds wont lower the price of diamonds so - despite the fact that you have diamonds on your property - you shouldnt dig them out. Instead, when diamonds are at an all time high, buy your diamonds from a foreign source. Export as much money as humanly possible so that foreign entities can buy up U.S. landmarks like the Chrysler building (and the mortgage on your house by bailing out banks).
While you are busy exporting trillions of dollars to buy diamonds, work hard to make diamonds obsolete through new technology. That way, all of the potential trillions you have in diamonds of your own eventually becomes worthless as you let them rot in the ground.
BRILLIANT!
(I’ll just keep repeating this analogy until it someone other than the addressee reads it and catches on. ;-))
Is it really all that heavily subsidized, or is it just less transportation, no import/export terriffs, huge local supply?
They simply produce more than they consume. Giving them the luxury of setting a domestic price. I remember when we had that luxury.
opinions are great so long as they are not presented as news. Fox and Friends is supposed to be a news show. if they want to state their opinions they should specify that they are their personal opinions and not a fact or news.
??? What on earth are you talking about??? US traditionally produced more grain than we consumed and it was in part because we did subsidize it. If you could sell something for $140 on the open market and your cost was $2 and you gave it away, did you subsidize to tune of $2 or $140? economic answer = $140.
