Is the Congress going to hold hearings when the oil companies profits dive in the last quarter of the year? Their (the oil companies) profits (for the third quarter) were driven by inventory cost plus profit vs replacement cost plus profit! Did not a number of oil platforms get damaged in the hurricanes? Yes! Were the companies supposed to take a loss or increase the price of gas to also cover the cost of repairs? I'm on the oil companies side here!

As I am. It is very unpatriotic, anti-American and anti-free market to complain about the major oil companies. Congress shoud be ashamed, but being the opportunist pigs they are, they have none.

China just ordered a large number of Boeing aircraft. Soon, Congress will hold heaings threatening Boeing because they are the dominant aircraft manufacturer in the USA.

Congress is scum.
