Gee, the poor billionaire oil companies.... you know, the more I read the madder I get. Come on America, it's time we put a stop to being used and abused. Let your legislators know that you are not going to stand for it anymore. Let them know that THEIR job is at stake. They put us in the position that OUR jobs are at stake... We CAN do the same to them. They work for us, remember??? Time we remind them of that.

There's no figuring this out anymore. It doesn't seem to matter what the price of oil does, the price of gas just keeps going up.

At least they're no longer the largest holder of our debt. They're still a large holder, however, and are not to be messed with.

China is still outraged at Obama's position regarding the Dalai Lama and are waiting to bury us by a tighten monetary policy regarding US Treasury Bonds. They are also spearheading an attack on our bond ratings.

If the problems in China continue we may be in a real mess if China's economy goes down the toilet in view of the humugous bank they have been to Boma.

Everything affects the price of oil. "McDonalds now has a new dollar menu", "This just in, crude oil prices just jumped $2/barrel on the announcement of McDonalds new dollar menu".

We have to have a tax base and the goods from China should be taxed. This country wants the services but they don't want to pay for them. They want someone else to pay. There will have to be taxes to pay even for wars,we can't charge everything.

China is finally starting to feel the pain that the rest of the world has been experiencing for the past couple of years. Since the Chinese government has been subsidizing most segment of their economy, it's finally having to do something in order to prevent its economy from totally collapsing, similar to what has happened to the rest of the world's economies. With many of its people still living in the 19th century, the Chinese government is going to have to eventually relinquish some of its power over its people and afford some civil rights to them in order to prevent chaos and total anarchy.
