Good one Mr. Williams, someone should ask Obama the reason what and why the speculators are speculating about in the first place. Policies perhaps or are they just pissing in the wind while throwing their money in the air?

Mr. Williams was doing fine until the last paragraph regarding the $4 Billion in "special tax breaks" for oil companies. This has always been suspicious in my mind and likely to be nothing but demagoguery. Randall Hoven has a brilliant analysis in American Thinker on this very issue. See About Those Oil Subsidies on May 2. As expected, the oil companies are taking advantage of basic tax code benefits that are used by every corporation in America.

A better question would be to ask about maintaining tne tax rate and decreasing, that is cutting, the Social security rate and the defacto rise in unexpected revenue. Since the cut resulted in near immediate gains, should not all rates be reduced? Why not?
