This probably won’t have any effect on pension plans either, that depend on stock returns to keep pace with inflation…looks like more than one person has to do some critical thinking.

The price of oil is set by the market, not based on what it costs an oil company to get it to the refinery. Let me share a little something with you…

“The Government Accountability Office (GAO) roiled the waters of the oil and gas world back in 2008 with a report that concluded that the U.S. government was not collecting as much in royalties from oil and gas production on public lands and waters as it should. The implication was that the government was being a patsy to the oil industry….”

That was when Bush was in the White House.

The oil companies were already paying 18.75% of revenue for offshore oil. Now they’ll pay us, the people who really own the oil, 18.75% for on shore oil. All that will happen is that they will give up a little bit of their remarkable profits and we will be able to offset a small portion of the cost of keeping two carrier fleets in the Middle East in order to provide security for those very same oil countries.

Suggest you do less eye rolling and more critical thinking….

We also have to give him a Congress that works for America as opposed to the current Republicans in Congress who have worked to make President Obama fail by making America fail.

Have ever seen this before in our country, a political party which has intentionally harmed the country in hopes of political gain?

It’s still a risky tactic from Obama’s point of view – although, with a completely neutral perspective, I’d be willing to bet Obama wins the election this year, although it will certainly be close.

I think the majority of Americans will see through Romney’s sheer stupidity. That’s what Obama has going for him.
