4. The government should seize just ONE oil company by eminent domain and put it in receivership.

I nominate Exxon-Mobil.

[Lint Head]

5. Some oil CEO just went 'Ching, Ching'.

:dem:

6. this was an email from a repuke and my answer

The government should cap income, set pay scales and redistribute wealth? Are you crazy? That comment obviously came from a lazy slacker who thinks hardworking Americans should pay his bills

No, maybe it is just someone tired of paying $3.09 for gas so the oil billionaires can have more money. Like cutting the price of gas even $1 would hurt their lifestyle. Think what kind of economic stimulation package that would be for everyone.

7. Someone on NPR...

...here I go, no link :blush: ...said that we should expect 4 dollar per gallon gas by Memorial Day...

8. and the repukes keep saying the economy is fine

people I know are not driving for fun, they drive only when they have to

for work, doctors appts ect...


other things are being let go. We eat at home a LOT more often than we used to

we do all of our errands in one day so we do not do excess driving

we have stopped going to the movies

we stopped renting movies

we haven't bought new clothes or music in a long while




and we make decent money...I am sure others that are just barely getting by are cutting back on a LOT more things

13. Went to the store a little later than I usually like to

b/c I was getting a new battery in my car. I don't like to go after 2:30 b/c the stores are more crowded as the people get off work. Today at 3:45 I had no problem finding a close parking place, didn't have to fight people blocking the aisles and didn't have to wait in line to get checked out.
Could it be because eggs are over $2 a dozen (I got 6 for $1.12)? Campbell's cream of mushroom soup went up 20 cents since Christmas time. The only things I bought that weren't higher were cat litter and over the counter meds.
People are feeling the pinch.

9. who's going to protect us....

....from these predatory capitalists? Obama will!!

....$100 a barrel oil!! What was the price of a barrel of oil and a gallon of gas in January 2001? Haven't the oil pigs made enough blood money yet?

....they must want it all, including the shirts off our backs....what a system....

[VP505]

14. That is what

pisses me off the most, record profits just because they can.

[dysfunctional press]

10. "supporting the troops" does NOT mean letting them die to protect record profits for oil companies..

why don't i ever hear any democrats saying something to that effect?

[greenbriar]

12. true

needs to be addressed

[AlinPA]

11. Up 10 cents today here to $3.199 in W. PA.
