1. $10,490,000,000 to Cheney's friends

Document Says Oil Chiefs Met With Cheney Task Force

By Dana Milbank and Justin Blum
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, November 16, 2005; Page A01

A White House document shows that executives from big oil companies met with Vice President Cheney's energy task force in 2001 -- something long suspected by environmentalists but denied as recently as last week by industry officials testifying before Congress.

The document, obtained this week by The Washington Post, shows that officials from Exxon Mobil Corp., Conoco (before its merger with Phillips), Shell Oil Co. and BP America Inc. met in the White House complex with the Cheney aides who were developing a national energy policy, parts of which became law and parts of which are still being debated.

13. When you break it down some it is $81,000.00 per MINUTE ..PROFIT
And that is when they lowed prices to give the GOP a little help. Eighty one thousand dollars per minute pure Profit most people in America don't make half of that in a year let alone every single minute twenty four hours a day seven days a week..

15. Thank goodness Congress passed tax breaks for them!
Imagine if they only made $9.49 billion last quarter? It was be an epic disaster.
