Nationalize Our Oil Supply!
Maurice Hinchey Democrat from New York and Maxine Walters, Representative from California are in the process of starting proceedings to nationalize the American Oil Companies.

I have always been a "Right Wing Republican;" that is until our government gave the American oil companies unofficial permission to write their own checks for profit on Gasoline and Fuel Oil.

We the middle class American Taxpayers, have been suffering, at the hands of the very government that we have empowered to protect us! The Republicans are dogmatically holding to their policy of drilling, and the Democrats are dogmatically holding to their policy of Taxing. Like statues they refuse to compromise.

Our Representatives have demonstrated their inability to reason-out a viable solution to our Energy Problems. It might be a good idea to replace our Representatives, with Marble Statues. Now a Marble statue cannot make any decision, but neither can our elected officials. With the economy in mind, the Statues, will not get a huge salary, for work that they do not perform. Look at all of the money that we can save.

Our Energy Problems cannot be solved without compromise!

Honestly:
I do not want to freeze this winter!

I do not want to keep my house at 65 Degrees!

I do not want to walk around the house with a flashlight!

I do not want to pay $1200. for a tank of oil, that lasts one Month!

I do not want to see my neighbor, have to choose between paying the mortgage, or buying Fuel Oil!

In the Grand Scheme of things, the proposal made by Maurice Hinchey, and Maxine Walters, represents the first positive action, that could have an effect on the price of Oil. I think it stands very little chance of acceptance, but it's mere presence could put fear in the hearts of Speculators! Remember; "the world is a stage!"

Mr. Politician! Either do your job, or step aside, for someone who can do the job!

Have a Good Day!

Forward this if you so desire!

I don't quite know what "nationalizing" the oil companies really means, but if it means the government taking over private companies, I'm against it. That sounds like socialism or communism to me. The answer is to make the supply greater than the demand. Allow companies to drill here, offshore, or in the Arctic, where they believe we have oil reserves greater than those in the mid-east. Allow companies to build refineries here, so they can turn oil into usable fuel, none have been built in over 30 years. Remember, the Government is almost never the answer. You want to put the oil in the hands of those people who you just told us were totally inept? I don't.

I did not actually sanction nationalizing our oil companies. Theatrics is as important "a first positive action," as passing a law! The world is indeed a Stage!

I'm with the commentor. Increase supply. Just the knowledge that the ability to drill is open to our American producers will reduce the price instantly. I also cut back on "extras" (clothes I don't really need, driving when I don't really have to, etc) so I won't freeze or be unable to get to work. Anyone remember living during the 70s?
