Go to college four years and learn how to screw the working class.
Ever wonder about 'Rebates'? That's the OUT for business, in case the Gov. ever has the brains to institute 'Price Cellings' (WW2) -- simply drop the Rebates - nothing changes!

We need Atilla The Hun to run our Army! He'd enslave the Men, make the Women do Laundry and Cooking -- And TAKE all the worthwhile stuff- Like GASOLINE !!!

gas stations should not be able to raise the price of gas
until they use up all the gas they bought at the lower price.
this is price gouging.

The Federal Reserve Chairman sets interest rates, which drive the economy. This rate can stimulate of depres the economy. The time has come for a U.S. Department of energy chairman to set the legal price for which all forms of energy can be sold nation wide. There are wells in the U.S. that are non productive or capped, because to the oil companies that is just revenue in the bank. Energy just like interest rates is a major factor that can stimulate or depress our economy. Until there is a stable benchmark price that is constant you can not have a stable economy. Fuel is such a major facet in all phases of commerce, that prices have to increase daily with the cost of fuel.

everytime the barrel of oil goes up gas at the pump immediately goes up.
thats b.s think about it. gas stations buy gas lets say at $125.00 a barrel
then over night a barrel goes up to $130.00 they raise the price of a gallon
of gas. they should not be able to raise the price of gas until all the gas they bought
at $125.00 a barrel is used up.this is price gouging.

Cheney and oil companies met but they will not release the minutes because of propriatary information, all the oil companies were in the meeting so they already know what was discussed so it has no reason to be kept secret. Freedom of information is what we want.
European countries pay more but they have for years, they are taxed more than the US. Why haven't european gas prices escalated like the US.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Where is President Bush, the leader of this great country in this time of crisis? Nothing from the White House or Cheney on the energy concerns. They haven't even asked the public to participate in cutting back on use. I mean what is going on here are they hiding under their pillows? Somebody do something, anything and they will likely get my vote.
