The price of oil has dropped by 1/2 in the last 4 months - that means the price of gas has gone down by half..?

...right?


How come President Bush is all for every proposal except anything having to do with bringing oil profits down.


They have record profits AGAIN this year, and are the only businesses making steadily MORE money the worse the economy gets.


Could there be some connection?The price of oil has dropped by 1/2 in the last 4 months - that means the price of gas has gone down by half..?
the oil co's and the fat cat speculators see Obama coming! gas prices are down about half but the only way they will stay down is if Obama puts foot on their neck fast quick and in a freaking hurryThe price of oil has dropped by 1/2 in the last 4 months - that means the price of gas has gone down by half..?
Why not wait and see what the profits look like next quarter when the recent decline in prices it reported? The profit reporting is from when oil prices were still high. Going by the numbers, oil companies have a 10% profit margin. That is less than many other industries including computers and pharmaceutical companies.





People do not seem to realize that oil is used is so many aspects of our economy that the profits are going to be large no matter what. I am not as concerned with them at a 10% profits margin as I am with companies at 20% profit margins.





They are not the only business making more more as the economy declines. Take a look at other industries. Take a look at drug companies. There is growth out there, but the oil companies are an easy target to use to make people angry enough to support liberal policies. There is the connection.





The price of gas is now down to what it was two years ago. When deisel comes back down, then things will start looking a little more optinmistic because that is the one that influences the price of the goods in the stores.





The Warlock



Congress-Pelosi and comrades- won't allow Senate to vote on energy and oil drilling to help bring gas prices down.





Apparently I think someone wants to be loyal to her party than vote on the best interest of the American people. What happened to ';change'; Pelosi? Since 2006, their election year, they promised a better economy and lower gas prices! Since then, this economy is in shambles and gas doubled-except for election time.
Well, keep on taxing them. They might decide not to sell it at all, and we'll be sorry. Keep in mind that unnecessary tax is similar to putting price ceiling over the product. When government interfere with pricing system, something weird will happen.
Regulate the oil and petroleum industries. What they are doing is just rampant profiteering. Same with the finance industry - look what happens when you trust them to make the correct decisions for anybody but their CEOs.

Hey nitwit ,do the math. Tax them and you are taxing yourself, do you REALLY think they won't pass that tax along and ensure doing so that JOE Public KNOWS what the increase in price is from.





DemocRATs are stupid.
Find a way to use less oil and gas since fossil fuels aren't infinite we need to discover new forms of energy to put to use.
Build more refineries for one thing, and find and utilize other sources of energy.
