You said: Mexico is pumping oil like crazy for us. Why do you think you are paying 80 cents a gallon less for gasoline? This will do more for our economic recovery than a thousand burro patrols. THANK YOU, MEXICO!
No way. Mexico just last week tried to stir up international trouble by asking Russia and Norway join Mexico as non-OPEC members to join in a pledge to cut production in order to solidify OPECs pledge to cut production if others outside OPEC joined. Mexico initiated that action by going to Norway to ask for Russia's involvement in the deal. Now, all of a sudden, Russia is reversing its first offer made at the time Putin was smoozing with Bush in Crawford Texas that kept prices low. (Been to the gas station, lately?) Oil Climbs as Russia Edges Toward Cut. Perhaps Mexico will succeed in sticking the U.S. in the back with its international effort to raise oil prices and cut production.
NO THANK YOU MEXICO!
Mexico is in effect joining OPEC. How does that help the U.S.?
