No - YOU be honest.O.K. let's try a test. Suppose you are Mr. Big oil. You got some refineries and you sell gas. You cannot build any additional refineries because your accountants have handed you a big thick report that says regulatory red tape, environmental regs and consulting, zoning, taxes etc. will render it unprofitable. People want to buy more gas from you than you are able to produce. Are you going to:
A. continue to sell at current price until you run dry
B. Increase the price until your demand matches your production
Be honest.
Gas prices have gone up over 30% in the last two weeks here in New Hampshire.
Can you HONESTLY tell me that gasoline consumption has gone up 30% in the same time frame?
Be HONEST.
There is a direct corelation to a relatively unknown G W Bush raising a record amount of money in a record amount of time 4 years ago to finance his campain and the price of gasoline the past four years.
Now, think about this. The Bush people just reported that they had raised a record $200,000.00 for the campain this year already, and gas prices have gone WAY up in the past few weeks.
You can hide behind your right wing conservative banner all day long, but the fact remains that President Bush and his cronies have more ties to big oil companies than Iraq has sand.
There are perhaps 2 or three big oil companies in this country, and they are in colusion to raise prices and keep them there.
The difference between Clinton and Bush is that Clinton wasn't smart enough not to get caught. Neither is Bush, but he has better people working for him who have enormous amounts of money at stake in keeping what this administration does from the public. Bush is a puppet. He does what he is told. He was put in power by big oil and big business, and they run his administration.
