Time for an import tax. Sorry, but free market purity DOES NOT triumph national security on this.

F**k OPEC up the rear this time. No more allowing the Saudis to screw with our domestic energy push.

And remember fellow Conservatives . . . LOTS of jobs in this country are at risk due to the Saudi shenanigans.

Is this good or Bad

Neither. Prices fluctuate. It's good for some, bad for others.

They say that the cure for low oil prices is low oil prices (stimulates demand, raising the price). They also say that the cure for high oil prices is high oil prices (depresses demand, lowering price).

Agreed. OPEC will try to kill off domestic US oil production. Lowering oil prices will make it economically unfeasible for domestic oil production. The Saudis can control the price of oil thru production levels.

On the other hand, the economies of Russia and Iran to name just two are heavily dependent on oil prices. Lower oil prices hits them hard, which isn't a bad thing.

High energy costs put way more conservatives’ jobs at risk.

BULL SHIP, end the Fed Res to fix all our problems,
and no more money printing, that’s where all the trouble is coming from. You can’t print your way out of trouble it only makes things worse. And here it comes.
Import Tax, next comes Currency wars, then World War.
But then, why break a good cycle.
