My numbers only, its removed on average being conservative $.75 per gallon from our economy. I know there are people who ride around and can afford it, and they just don’t care. Well its not that way for everyone. There are good hard working American people that are caught in a bind because of fuel prices. And now they want to spend money to pay for bad mortgages that will be sold as soon as someone can turn a buck. At least power lines will make jobs and be around for a while. Pipelines charge for using there pipelines, charge for using the power lines to get the money back.
If it weren’t for oil this country wouldn’t be the richest nation on earth. Tell me how oil has made Americans poorer when the oil companies make .08 cents per gal. on gasoline and the government makes .14+ cents per gal.?
