I'm terribly disappointed with his worthless plan.
It does absolutely nothing for the next 2 or three years.
Even the Republican's want nothing to do with it. Unless congress reacts and other Republican's step up and walk past Bush we will continue to be robbed by the American Oil Refinery's.
It's depressing to see how Bush is not acting as a President, and instead is protecting his own personal interests by allowing the ridiculous price of gas to continue to skyrocket. His plan also allows for brownouts and blackouts to continue. It's quite sad really. If his plan is enacted, the Democrats will control congress and the Presidency next term.
American oil companies are
ALL posting
RECORD profits. This price fixing that is going on is absolutely SICK. Bush should be beaten. I am seriously wishing I had not voted for him at this point. I should have penciled in
Mr 5.0.
As fuel costs continue to soar in the Midwest due to the sudden and unexpected shutdown of
4 refineries, 1 due to problems with output control. Can this be anymore see-thru? It's incredible... They have blatently shut down refineries for no other reason than to intentionally cause a fuel shortage so that they can demand more money for their product. Once the artificial increase in fuel costs is in place, they will turn the refinery's back on and never drop the price. They are just buttering us up for the shaft.
If this is not price fixing I have no idea what is. Unless congress acts quickly and Bush get's his **** together we will be screwed!
They are soooooooooo stupid! It's unreal. The Middle East is finally becoming powerful and working together to control oil prices, and now is the time the ******* idiots want to screw around the American people??? What happens when the Arab nation's decide they are willing to work together to get $40 a barrel??? Are the refinery's going to keep piling on the charges? Will they have to? Most companies I know of try to budget their expansion based on revenue, is this not true? What happens when the oil industry decides to begin expanding it's interest's? When they actually need to keep a certain level of profit and the Arab's raise prices on oil the average people in this country will take it in the *** !!! Let's take advantage of the situation we have right now and use it to our advantage before the Middle East begins to demand huge increases for it's product and the American oil companies are so invested in their newfound revenue that they NEED to continue making a certain level of profit on the products they sell so that we CANNOT receive a price break even if they want to give us one.
