trucker, I cannot find where he said it was because of THIS president.
G W Bush was prez when Katrina struck, that is when gas and diesel prices shot up. The oil companies said that it was due to "disruptions" caused by the storm. Katrina must still be raging somewhere between the gulf and the pipeline depots. LOL
No matter what you wish to think, it is one of the longer running scams in America. I believe in profitabilty, but not at the expense of strangling our own country.
Going back to before diesel engines first hit the open market, diesel was being basically given away. Once the oil companies saw that there was demand, they stopped giving it away and began to sell it. Albeit, it was about the cheapest fluid in the US short of river water.
(The same thing happened with lobster, they used to be ground up and used for fertilizer until a taste was developed for them. Still, oil companies have gone way over where lobster prices ((in relation)) have ever gone)
Can we do anything about it today? No. Does that mean that we ignore it and keep electing the same crooks who are all in the same "fraternity"?
I say we take a long look at who is "connected" and begin to break the connections at the voting booths.
If they have to be "connected" in order to serve this country, then they do not need to be there.
