When all is said and done, DU is somehow going to link this "somewhat encouraging" drop in oil prices to Diebold, Karl Rove, Nixon, and Arbusto Oil. I can feel it.

No you don't. If that were the case we would be in some serious economic trouble. Also, some 401k would suffer.

Dingy Harry is deeply saddened. Pelosi's saddened too, but with eyes wide open (can't help it, too many facelifts).

Nah. We just need a hurricane or a shutdown of production or a refinery shutdown somewhere to give the speculators the ammo for another run on our pocketbook. The price of crude has been below $70 a few times already this year and it's always come back. I'll believe it's for real when it goes below $60.

And what happens to all the local government (CA at least) spending once they cant get 90 cents a gallon sales tax on fuel?
To: kellynla
Karl Rove musta called O'Reilly's Executive VP who sits in the bowels of the Exxon-Mobil HQ and sets oil prices each morning.
Said "Gotta cut those prices for a while, 'else the Demonrats will sweep in November!"
To: Perdogg
Sure I do. From early 90's to ~1998, oil hovered between $20-30 a barrel. Was the economy in serious trouble then?
Remember, a lot of this is FUTURES derived, which means the price of a barrel is artifically inflated.
Do I think it will get to 25/30 bucks? No. But I do hope it drops to the $50 range.
I also hope we start to find more oil reserves. And I think it would be neat if we soon realize that oil is a naturally occuring product that the earth makes itself.

I understand fuel tax to be based on gallon, not price per gallon.
That is: $.75 per gallon, not 75% like a real sales tax.
If gas was .01 wholesale, it would cost $.76 at the pump.
