Economy is rigged against middle & lower class

health care reform is good, but we also need better financial reform. no more bailouts

At this point, I think the only thing that is going to "save" America is for gasoline to go to $4.00 a gallon and stay there. It's the only thing I see reversing globalization and therefore the only thing that will bring back jobs.

One thing my state of NJ is good at is gas prices. We are among the lowest and we don't have to pump !! If they would just outlaw speculation in oil futures prices would go way down for everyone !!!

Candidate Obama, 6/25/08, what he will do to help consumers with rising gas prices:
1. Send out a 2nd round of stimulus rebate checks
2. Impose a windfall profits tax on oil companies
3. Provide an average $1000 tax cut to middle class families (95% of Americans)
4. Close the Enron Loophole that allows for speculation's unregulated upward pressure on gas prices

The first of Obama's many broken pledges & promises once he got elected was imposing 'Windfall Profits Taxes on the Oil & Gas Industry":

When pressed about his abrupt about face on imposing windfall profits taxes, Obama said, "The prices have now dropped - We'll see about doing that if or when they rise again."

What windfall profit? Do oil compaines get a tax rebate when commodity prices are in the cellar?

The oil and gas industry is a cyclical business that comes with highs and lows, if the govt is going to depress profits when prices are up they should beef them up when prices are down. Let the free market prevail without gov't intervention.

Regular 87 octane was $2.509 in Raleigh, NC on Sunday, 8 Nov 09 ... not a membership club price either; that's the pull in off the street and pull up to the pump price at a plain ol' gas station/mini mart. Across town in north Raleigh it's $.10 a gallon more.

You just gotta' know where to look.

Wherever you live you should know who regularly has the lowest prices.

No more bailouts. No more too big to fail.

Robert Reich and Krugman are right. We need more stimulus for welfare & job programs but the repuk3s make it sooo difficult!

There's always money for war and for foreign relations, but there's never money for social and civic programs.

How do they do it? How do the best prices invariably end up in Southern Red States???

[roald]

A large fraction of the cost of gasoline is taxes. Blue states have lower taxes (and services), so costs are lower.

[olephart]

Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma are oil producing states. Their benchmark crude price is West Texas intermediate. The Southern States are supplied via pipelines to refineries using these feedstocks. The World is awash in oil especially West Texas intermediate. The price is of course determined by speculators but when the storage tanks are full it’s either sell it for what you can get or stop pumping. There is a surplus of oil and, if refined, gasoline. The real question is why is the price so high and why are the Wall Street casinos so flush with money?

[Rule Of Law]

HI Ole, this is the most recent post of yours I could find so I'll put this here--

"The Fed Note is essentially unsound. It is the worst currency and the most dangerous that this Country has ever known. When the proponents of the act saw that the Democratic doctrine would not permit them to let the proposed banks issue the new currency as bank notes, they should have stopped at that. They should not have foisted that kind of currency, namely, an asset currency, on the United States Government. They should not have made the Government [liable on the private] debts of individuals and corporations, and, least of all, on the private debts of foreigners. "

I'm a bit unclear as to what McFadden means by " asset currency."

Any help?

The Southern states (exc. Georgia) are producing states and they have lower taxes.

Call any of the big oil companies. Tell them to start refining gasoline again, and get that gas price back to $2.. We're drowning in crude oil.
