Re: Fuel Prices... again...

Do you mean the big government that passed all of those overly restrictive 
environmental laws that led to the higher prices, distribution problems
and 
fewer refineries?   The same government that makes more on the gas you 
purchase at the pump, than the oil company that provides the gas?   That
big 
government that sill will not allow drilling our countries vast oil and 
natural gas reserves?   The price of crude is determined by the
speculators 
that invest in the commodities market, not the oil companies or the 
government

Every time the price of fuel goes up the Congress or the Senate holds 
hearing and browbeat the bosses of the American oil companies that are
owned 
by those Americans that invest in those companies.  Have you EVER seen a 
re****t from any of the Congressional or Senate hearings?   Did it ever
occur 
to you why you never read any of their conclusions in the press?    The 
results of those hearing is ALWATYS the same, the price increase is the 
result of supply and demand   LOL.
