Even OPEC oil cartels are questioning why prices spiked, and I quote:

"the cartel has argued that record rallies earlier this year were driven more by speculation than supply and demand."

Why do all these speculators have so much influence in driving up the price of crude oil? Can’t they be held accountable?

Also, have you noticed that the price of gasoline at the pumps hasn’t come down as quickly with crude prices? GREED and GOUGING at work at the pumps now. I wish I had something they needed so that I could punish them with it……oh wait, I do, it’s called MONEY. Now we need to find a way to move that money away from these money hungry theives……..Alternative fuels!!!!

But then again, all that would happen is that Exxon, Shell, Conoco would just file for bankruptcy and our government would bail them out…..how nice. Wish I had a business that I could run into the ground and then scream default and get helped out. Thanks a lot American Airlines, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG……..
A hug would be nice, as long as you don’t pick my pockets and take my wallet. Oh wait, go ahead and take it…..Exxon, Chevron, Conoco and Shell have been emptying that wallet over the past several years……so its empty.

This may just be ignorance however I do not understand it. I just read a question by a top contributor of these questions complaining that he doesn’t understand why the government won’t provide funds for auto companies in order to bail them out of their possible bankruptcy. The thought of providing these businesses with tax dollars from the American public is insane. In my opinion the auto companies have no one to blame but their own greed and the way they decided to go with their business, the government would not bail out a business that the average American built and used every dime of their personal money to invest into the business, while CEO’s of the auto companies STILL are taking in millions of dollars a year and expecting the government (moreover the American people) to basically paying their salaries, when it was the direction they took in their company to blame for the problem they are in now. With exponential growth especially in business comes exponential decline and they should have taken precautions to prevent this from happening. Aside from their bad business decisions these are the same businesses that closed down factories in the United States, which were employing thousands of American workers, to move to China were labor was cheaper. This brought upon record unemployment rates in Detroit. Who in turn need government assistance to be able to provide for their families because they were screwed over by their employer. I understand that their are people who are a drain on society and are wrongfully collecting welfare but aside from those individuals Welfare helps out people WHO HAVE NOTHING and are asking for the governments help to keep a roof over their head. Another point that needs to be addressed in Auto Makers is the money that they received from big oil to not research alternative fuels, even though the impending Global Warming was a huge issue. Which means in a sense they may have screwed over the Human Race by destroying our planet. I don’t know I may just be venting but isn’t it the ethical for these CEO’s to take a money cut for the benefit of their company instead of asking for the governments help, providing that they never seemed to really truly care of the American public?

Roads???? read this if you think that our tax dollars even go to roads first off……

Second off the whole idea is the current CEO’s of the business still raking in millions from their business, which is failing and asking for government help what happened to darwin and survival of the fittest, does it not pertain to business?

While expanding his micro-chip business, billionaire Dr. TJ Rodgers was asked if he wanted solar panels on the roofs of his new facilities and answered: "If it makes money, do it. If not, don’t."

The seller demonstrated that it did so the billionaire, keeping an open mind, went for it and has had no regrets. He even bought the outfit that made the panels (rescuing them from bankruptcy) and is making tons of cash.

But don’t take it from me, now. Let the guy speak for himself. He’s real. Not an actor or a ghost.

…

I realize it’s a long video. But when you get a chance, watch as much of it as you can. It’ll make you wonder how alternative fuels ever became a liberal vs conservative issue.
