Oil cost hundreds of dollars a barrel now -- the real cost. Selling below cost does nothing more than perpetuate a stagnant inefficient economy and shift the burden of paying the costs. I have no interest in subsidizing your consumption -- if you want to pay for oil and consume, then exercise your rights do it -- but don't ask me to pay for it.

The idea that somebody else should pay your bills is not justified by trying to scare people into thinking that the sun shines out of your tailpipe and we are all doomed economically if we don't fork over hundreds of billions of dollars a year to support your bad habits.

Price oil at cost -- it is not an unreasonable position, and it is nothing more than scare mongering to suggest that our well being rests on your wasteful consumption of a heavily subsidized product.
