Oil heading higher in 2012

Ok wait, first we have ALL the oil and natural gas we need here and in Alaskan reserves.   All we are doing is what they call spreading the wealth to other countries, Have you ever noticed how often our refineries go down for maintenance? How any and I mean any size raindrop falls, they are suddenly in danger from storms? There is enough oil stored unrefined and refined to run this country for 5 years.  Until Americans tell their Reps and Senators, NO MORE by voting them out, it wont stop. Stopping the lobbyist is the easier way to make it become a better country again. I remember being a kid and Mom making 8 $ an hour, gas was 89 cents, light bills were 40 dollars, and a 100$ phone bill was unheard of. Now my kid makes 9$ an hour, gas is 4$, food is unreal, and 300 energy bills are normal, and we wonder why the world is a crazy place.

      Heres how we stop it, We revise our system of representation to stop this. All Senator and Representatives are part time. They have an office in their home State, and that's it. Housing allowances are what the state deems fair,no more. No more wining and  dining, no more overseas travel, and no lobbyist. Each office shall maintain a web link that all legislation must be posted publicly for 14 days. If it isnt, no vote ,,, period, except in a declared war, and only then a bill that affects the outcome of the war. Leave social security alone, people paid in the money, IT IS NOT an entitlement. Its insurance , let the ones that spent the money make it up out of their retirements. Every registered voter can access their Representative,and Senator online gateway, and vote for the bills, yes or no, and THAT is the way the Legislators must vote, no excuses, they website {accidently} go off line ,no vote until it is back up for 14 days. Finished, no more lobbyist, no more expense accounts, no more , no more no more,

Let me get this straight for ALL OF YOU,   We, the USA is NOW an EXPORTER of OIL PRODUCTS.    We EXPORT more OIL and OIL Related Products then we IMPORT.   We Drill and Pump more oil then we CONSUME here in the USA.  Now we are being told again Price HIKES.  I have the ONLY Answer that will work .    NATIONALIZE all of OUR ENERGY , Coal, Gas , OIL,   And OUTLAW any Exportatoin of any of these .   Hold prices down for Americans, and our US industries.      EXXON and the others can live well on the BILLIONS IN PROFITS that they already made. 

This is all rhetoric. Speculators at their worst. When will our government get the balls and put a stop to this. One of these days, the people of this country are going to have put up with enough and take matters into our own hands. Just wait and see!

In 2011 the United States of America EXPORTED more oil than was IMPORTED.  The oil companies are taking oil from our Alaskan oil fields and sailing West with it to supply the Orient for huge profits.  They then IMPORT oil from the Middle East, refine it in the United States and make HUGE PROFITS on the gasoline that they sell to you from expensive IMPORTED OIL.  If oil were not EXPORTED and RE-IMPORTED, gasoline would be below 2$ a gallon.  This Country has to be wrenched from the greedy fists of the 1% and returned to the middle class!

Yep, they will find any reason, no matter how trivial, to hold up prices on oil. without any of these threats the real price comes shining through. Which is about $50.00 per barrel. So they make up threats and OPEC trims their supply to prop up the market. All this serves to keep the economies from growing in many countries.

People seem to forget why we as citizens decided to remove ourselves from English rule.  The country was founded in blood, and the fight for JUSTICE.  We fought against the Tyrannical behavior of the recognized government of that time.  We as a people were tired of having prices raised to satisfy the GREED, of the upper power.

Nationalize US OIL Lease terms. ,   ITS OUR OIL, not Exxons.   REVOKE every US OIL lease, and LET ME WRITE THE TERMS for the new OIL leases.   1. NO EXPORTING OF ANY US ENERGY PRODUCTS, With this exception.  US OIL Producers must provide for the USA first. and then they can EXPORT SOME OIL,  at 5% profit, to the producer, but the huge profit persentage for products sold offshore, goes RIGHT BACK TO THE US TREASURY to pay off our debt. . 2.  Leases, will Pump to meet our use Demands,  Or Forfeit the lease to someone that can and will. 3. First order of refining. a. Motor fuel b. Motor oils, c. Heating oils, ..... Last Plastics feedstocks.   4. Maximum profits allowed per barrel of oil,  Shall be no greater then 5%.    ITS OUR OIL, ITS NOT EXXONS.   Trust me,  We are allowing a profit of 5% .   Easy money for sure.  Its more then a grocery store makes,  Their margin is about 2 to 3% .  Its time to WAKE UP.  If this nation,  Took the Profits from Domestc Energy and applied it to our Tax and Debt burden.    Both would be REDUCED at an alarming RATE.  How do you people think that In Libya and Saudi,   Everything is provided to the people with the Oil almost at no costs, and no taxes.   We, the USA has MORE OIL then both.

We have no leaders just millionaires and billionares who want more and more money and could care less about the people.  Career politicians, we can't get them out because they pass the laws, there should be time limits.  They shouldn't get free health care for life for one term or retirement, they should live like the rest of us.  And quit using expense accounts paid by the tax payers.  Bunch of crooks is all they are.  Boycott the elections.  You just vote for the next millionaire who gets to screw you no matter what party he represents.

 

Just another cycle of hipocracy.

"Economy shows signs of recovery"....

Followed by "oil futures rise"....

Nevermind, everyone back in the big gay pile.

The problem for many is not the cost of gas itself, but the costs of goods and services that all inflate due to shipping costs.

The direct impact of $3 vs. $6 gas to my family is only ~$120 a month. The problem is the indirect costs that get added to everything else. $4 for a gallon of milk, $2 for a head of lettuce.

Of you want to go pickup a piece of furniture advertised on craigslist, but it's 40 miles away and requires a truck and $40 worth of gas.....

Now imagine you're a small business making a widget and shipping your widget to stores makes it unaffordable....

This is the real damage of high fuel/transportation costs, which our corrupt and ignorant government continues to do nothing about. The race to the bottom shall continue... 

 

 

the oil people and the speculators and the hedge funds are trying to squeeze the oil price higher, I say let them squeeze and when they do let them drink it. They are a greedy bunch of people who has no pity on the working man and woman. We can cut back on the gas and oil but they can't make money on it if they can't sell it. Pigs of greed is what they are wallowing in their own slop of greed..
