According to OPEC, oil supplies are "plentiful". So much for the excuses to justify the massive gouging. Face facts, ever since Bush-Cheney got nominated, two oil execs headed for the White House with oil pimp Tom Delay running congress, the entire energy sector has decided "let's get as much as we can while we can because our boys are in charge now and nobody's there to stop us".

In total, this could end up being a trillion dollar ripoff. It also hurts the environment greatly and is partly why we're fighting this crazy war.

I recommend re-regulation of the energy sector and windfall profits taxes on oil companies and Halliburton to help pay for the war.
