I ventured out this morning, drove past our local automotive oasis, and
saw it, yes IT - $2.999/gallon Diesel, about a dime ABOVE premium gas.
Bush's energy policy!
They talk, talk, talk and talk and we pay, pay, and pay.
What do you think about it?????? |

Though unhappy with paying $2.70 per gallon for super unleaded,I'm
thankful that I don't live in Norway and pay $7.00 per gallon.
Here in Alaska,we have a permanent fund dividend paid yearly to
residents from the oil companies.The highest it ever reached was $1975
back in 2000.That year,the state government sent us a check for
$7900,but now the dividend has plummeted down to $900.Now at the prices
of gas,seems that we just barely break even figuring the total spent a
year.Only a $3600 check this year,SIGH!!!! |

It's not only Bush's policy what is behind this.
You americans buy growing amounts of goods from China and other
countries and that's why chinese can afford buying your oil paying more
than before.
So, you can thank yourselves for this.

It's not the energy policy it's the war in Iraq. Your paying for it twice,
once in taxes and second in high energy cost. We need to gety him and his
lackeys out of office.

Obviously you have never been shopping in the US.Import goods far out
number domestic goods(Shoes,clothes,electronics etc,etc.)
Not only has the cost of oil skyrocketed,the prices of food,rent, non
essential services(cell phones,entertainment,etc...)has greatly
increased,but the income of the average American has not.
You are familiar with supply and demand right?Well,if Chinese goods are
in demand,the prices increase,thus.................See? >> Stay informed about: Here we are - $3.00/gallon Diesel! |

When chinese want more and more oil they buy it out of the market and
price rices.
That's very simple.

1. Only a small portion of our fuel comes from Saudi, etc.
Venezuela & other S.A. nations, iirc, are our source for a much higher
quantity.
We can't really blame the sheiks.
And W is no more to blame than HW or the HillBillies.
2. It's our economy, not the government's.
It is what we make it by how we spend our money.
If we don't buy Chinese goods, China hurts, oil falls, and US business
succeed.
Government meddling, by both political philosophies, is damaging to the
economy.
Adam Smith was always right.
