Yes unfettered, free market capitalism (fascism?) will take care of things. Now go back and pay, pay, PAY!!

The argument for higher oil prices are a non starter when in fact there is plenty of oil around. Google the name Lindsey Williams. he was the minister that served those who worked on the Alaska pipe line during the seventies. Atlantic Richfield and BP corporate heads told him and showed him a discovery that was made back then, two miles off the shore of Alaska called Gull Island. it was there they discovered an underwater oil field holding more than 200 billion barrels that to this day has never been tapped. Williams accuses people like Henery Kissinger who cut a deal with the Saudis. Read his book called the Non Oil Crisis. We won't use US oil as long as you allow us a presence in the middle east and nothing has changed since the 70's. don't let anyone tell you there isn't enough oil to prices down. There is, but each administration since Reagan have kept it quiet. The problem now is that our incresing use of fossil fuels are killing the planet and the greatest mistake we made based on both corporate and political greed, was that while knowing all this oil is around, we've lost over 30 years in finding adequate replacements in the field of alternative forms of energy. Check it out for yourself. Just Google the name Lindsey Williams. Lastly with regard to the corporate greed factor one need only recall the story of Nickola Tesla. He could have provided free energy to the world and JP Morgan was financing him, but when hMorgan found out Tesla wanted to give the energy away ffor ree he stopped funding Tesla who died pennyless and to this day the original building in Montauk Long Island is still there. The robber barrons are still out there, but today, they ware suits and are called politicians who have sold us out for years in the name of greed and power over the masses. If it can't be created and sold at a profit you can't have it. That's why alternatives like wind and solar have taken sooooo long to come into their own on a large scale.

I'm wondering why this information never goes mainstream. It used to be a time this information was hidded, but now, it's in the open. 30 years ago we could have tapped that oil field, and developed alternative fuels along the way.
The question is: How do we really get Washington to take notice?

Blackwofl, it may just come down to a second revolution by the people and the sooner the better. Williams states that this information has been surpressed under the guise of National Security which these days seems to be the catch all when hiding the truth from the American people and the world at large.

the fed will never admit there's inflation even if oil is 300 dollars a barrel

The cheap, easy-to-get oil is gone. Pro-capitalist cheerleaders say there is plenty of oil in the deep sea, ANWAR and tar sands. What has civilization come to when we scramble to destroy planet earth to get the last remaining deposits of oil to fuel our economic system?

The cheap easy oil is not gone, we're just continually told it is. we know where it is, but as I said, we're at a point in our earths history where dumping more hydrocarbons into the atmosphere is killing the planet. Our priorities rathan than being on capital gains on something that can be sold should be directed towards renewable energy sources that are relatively free such as sun, wind and the creation of hydrogen from water. But don't look to washington for any help. These morons just passed a farm bill that will allow farmers to receive billiond FOR NOT GROWING CROPS. WTF are they thinking when the price of basic foods are going through the roof? Is that a reason to pay people not to grow foods or worse yet, growing food to dump into your gas tank? Whomever the next president is, they should push for a new paradigm with regard to the law of the land. Radical I know, but if it comes to basic foods as well as energy, there should be a limit as to how much profit can be made on either as both are basic to life support.

As usual, the oil companies along with the oil producing countries, are working together to squeeze as much out of the people of this world as they can before others stand up to this robbery. We have no one else to blame for this but Bush, Cheney, the oil barons all deciding how much they can suck out of this country before it revolts. Unfortunately, they are so greedy they do not know when they have made enough profit off of us all and they do not see the Bastille Day on the horizon and by then, they will have their private armies to protect them and this country will start using all the detention (concentration) camps this administration has been building since Bush/Cheney came into office and privately prepared and predicted the people would some day say, enough is enough. I hate to be so negative on such a beautiful day but, I fear we, the people have lost it all to the corporate companies and the oil mega-giants for they will be calling the tune this country will have to dance to for the future. It's that or be branded a terrorist or seditionist who this government will put away without our rights as citizens in those internment camps. Google American internment camps and take a look at what our country has been up to under this administration and tell me what you think these camps will be used for.

Did anybody else feel humiliated when the President of The United States flew to Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil production? Cheney tried the same stunt a few months ago and got thrown out on his ass too. Bush has reduced us to a beggar nation. Nice work.
