Congress Blows (’nuff said)…

Your car can’t run on Congress’ hot air
by Mark Steyn
I was watching the Big Oil execs testifying before Congress. That was my first mistake. If memory serves, there was lesbian mud wrestling over on Channel 137, and on the whole that……

I don’t think we disagree with anything here, Ron. I did acknowledge that what I suggest wouldn’t provide a fix today.

Deregulation, especially with domestic oil ops and with proven alternative energy, sources would bring the filthy Saudis, the Russians and Hugo Chavez to their knees.

Solidarity, bro!

G.F…I am all in favor of drilling, hell they can come drill in my back yard if they want.

Even the most conservative estimates say, if we were to start drilling today, it would take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to get into gas.By that time, we will be paying 10 dollars a gallon.

Congress should vote to deregulate the whole industry. Not just vote for “domestict” drilling.

How is sueing OPEC, going to help? Cause and effect, more higher prices.

Whenever I read or hear Steyn these days I can’t help but fantasize about what the current Presidential election would be like if someone with his clarity of thought and eloquence were running against Obama instead the designated RINO we have now. Can you imagine a Steyn/Obama debate? Just think about it awhile. Your day will be better because you do. LOL

OK, sue them both!

One thing I think you are missing though Ron. Congress can immediately hold a vote to allow both increased domestic oil exploration, production and refinement capacity along with proven “alternative energy” — nulcear. (I know none of it would be instantly online, but we care about the FUTURE, right?)

The fact that Congress can be shown by simple reading of the CR to have purposely limited oil production for decades is beyond dispute. And as you know the greater supply that would have been had Congress allowed it would have led to lower prices, whether the dollar is weak or strong. Add that to the avilability of nuke energy, demand tails off as well to the same (and compounding) effect. Lower prices regardless of where the dollar is at any snapshot in time.

The case against the Fed would be tougher as its actions are only one in many thousands of factors and permutations in a global economy.
