tired of being "over the barrel"

Published Jul. 9, 2008

Yesterday, crude prices dropped 5-6 bucks so the stock market did well. Today we have news of Iran test firing missiles creating worries over interuption of oil supplies so the market tanks. Yet we still have liberals not wanting to drill. "We can't drill our way out of this", I mean, what the hell does that mean. It means more of the same, NO solutions from dems, just slogans. I say let the drilling begin. It is the best "short term" solution. Meanwhile, lets kick in high gear the R and D on alternatives. I long for the day when we can collectively extend our middle finger to those America hating freaks from the east.

I am thoroughly convinced that a good part of the reason that whack in Iran is doing this stuff is in part to keep the prices high. Every time oil starts to pull back a bit he puts on a show. We need to drill, the president needs to dump oil onto the market from the strategic reserve, as soon as the price dips some, buy it right back. That helps us and it puts a bit of money into the treasury. Then push hard for viable alternatives. We will be using oil for a long time to come, so even if it takes time to bring some in it still helps us. We can go after that shale oil out West. The Dems in Congress need to get on board. T Boone Pickens is pushing wind and natural gas. I have no problem with either, but I question how much it reduces our foreign imports given he is heavily invested in wind and natural gas. Seems pretty self-serving. We have got to stop sending so much money to all other countries, especially the Mideast.

i say drill, find our own, and keep it for ourselves!

Drilling will change the supply side of supply and demand and eventually add to our self reliance. Lots to do, lets get busy. Oldschool is right but i'm praying good old American gumption wins out.

"The drilling and refining processes that would need to be set up/ expanded make drilling NOT a short term solution."

Not really. Right now our refining capacity is at max, but it's meeting demand. The problem is the cost of oil, which would be reduced by an increase in supply. Drilling, frankly, is far, far more likely to led to near term results than anything else I've seen. How long will it take to develop McCain's "Miracle Battery"? WHo the hell knows. Or Obama's . . . . well, okay, in all fairness he hasn't proposed ANY solution so I can't pick on him.

But you get the point.

They do have a solution 1) raise taxes, 2) sue OPEC.

(God, I wish I was kidding. But no, that really IS their plan.)

The drilling and refining processes that would need to be set up/ expanded make drilling NOT a short term solution. However the longer we do nothing, than the more likely we will be in big trouble. That is to say of course the more oil/ gas prices rise, the market will get bleaker anticipating a depression (since I think we have already hit recession), the bleaker the market gets the less people will spend as we watch our retirements go down the toilets. Unemployment will rise, etc.. Nice fresh outlook for the US.

lol.....love it!
