[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 376474, member: 1399"] Re publican's offered energy bills and Clinton Vetoed them. One was for more drilling in Alaska. Why is it Bush's fault when prices go up but when they go up under Clinton it was the Republican Controlled Congresses fault? :roll: :roll: :lol: Seems Clinton OK'd a couple big Oil companies to merge creating this larger monster that you are so jealous of. Forget which ones, but I am sure you can prove me wrong if I am. ;-) You Ask What did Afghanistan have to do with higher oil prices? Any instability in that region affects energy prices. If a Saudi leader stumps his toe oil goes up. Speculators start buying at the hope that his toe will put him in a bad mood and he will cut oil production. I am glad oil companies profits go up every quarter, I do wish prices could stay low and they make a good profit but in the end as long as American companies are making money and hiring employees then the economy will continue to grow as it has the last year despite all the negative things affecting it since 911. Did oil prices stay up under Clinton? They went down early in his years because he made a quick fix and put a bandaid on it by releasing some of our reserves. And by the time it was hitting a full steam problem his term was over. He and Gore were scrambling in summer of 2000 to put some bandaid on the problem so Gore could get elected. If Gore would have got elected we would still be looking at these same problems since then he would have inherited Clinton's blunders instead of Bush. One other thought, if Bush is so to blame for high gas prices in the U.S. then who is to blame for the even Higher gas prices elsewhere around the world? Many, Many other countries would love to have the prices we have now. Guess Bush is secretly running all them countries also huh or is it Cheney? :roll: How do you explain that Oil companies have a smaller profit margin than many other fortune 500 companies? Why is it so bad for oil companies to try to get the same rate of return on their money as Wal-Mart or other retailers? [/QUOTE]
