There to meet with MacBush. I come GrayGore. Clintock calls, anon! Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air. [apologies to the Bard]

Is this Bill "I think the market should set oil prices" Richardson? Now setting Western energy policy in collaboration with such other great free market thinkers as Feinstein and Davis?? This is scary, and the situation is fast on its way to becoming worse. Quehubo, not sure I quite understand the "gouging" concept, where there are so many players in the market (competition). If a price premium is in essence pricing in credit risk, then the market is working the way it should, IMO. Is it really possible to shelter consumers from the realities of the marketplace, thereby keeping demand artificially high while leaning on industry to keep prices in check?? Maybe I have no concept of how free markets work? Or do the emperors have no clothes or "power"? Regards.
