I stand corrected, however even if a third of the oil was added to the mix at $50 a barrel it would bring our price down substantially. My point is the people in the other oil producing countries aren't paying anywhere near market rates for the oil used in their country, and they may be sharing the bounty of cheap gas with their neighbors. Our oil companies that produce domestically would be very profitable at $50 a barrel.

Sure, all these companies prefer record profits, but these profits are coming on the back of an economy that's collapsing because of it. This is a time when govt. regulation may be required.

Our govt. seems completely inept at getting the cooperation of our supposed allies in holding down oil prices, but then what do you expect when you elect an oilman to the Presidency. Bush's friends probably rejoice at the price of oil, Cheney's as well. Halliburton's thrilled with Administration actions. What difference does it make if the majority of the country suffers, Bush and Cheney's friends are very happy people.
