Forcing people to pay for inspections when getting ready to market a house is going to really stamp out a lot of sales in the future. I understand how they have the best intentions for the environment. We all want to live healthier lifestyles and consume less fuel, but hitting people right in the pocket book a recipe for trouble. It’s already so hard for most people to get by.

That’s a very good point Natalie. I remember when a congresswoman said that the bill she was being sent to sign was still warm from the printer. Actually there was a moment when the floor didn’t even have a couple of the bill they were all about to sign. That’s really bad, good point, it’s more about money and favors trading hands than anything else.

>> Many Representatives in Congress and Senators have stock in “Green” companies and are the recipients of attention from numerous lobbyists.

If you are implying that many Democrats own shares in Green companies, I suspect that many Republicans also own shares in those same companies. I further suspect that both Democrats and Republicans own shares in oil companies. Face it, these are politicians, and we all know that politicians go where the money is. Mark my words, the politicians who become Green millionaires will be fairly evenly split between the Democrats and the Republicans.

Nancy Pelosi gained power running on the promise of curving fuel prices and having complete transparency. She and the Democrats have done neither. Their interference with the oil companies has ensured us of higher fuel cost in the future. It is simply an issue of supply and demand.

In spite of the billions it cost for exploration, refinement and delivery of fuel, our state and federal government makes considerably more per gallon of gas than the oil companies do. The government does nothing to earn the tax revenues on gasoline and squanders the money.

Having worked in the oilfields of Louisiana for almost two decades I am very familiar with what it takes to deliver the refined product to your 7-11.

If you really want high fuel cost and gas shortages just turn President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid loose on the oil companies.

With the lost of Senator Norm Coleman’s Minnesota Supreme Court challenge there is now a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and I am sure oil companies will be targeted soon enough. Once the Democrats have removed all the incentive for new exploration (profits) we can anticipate even more job losses and dependency on foreign oil. Maybe Obama was just practicing his bow earlier this year in anticipation.

The Democrats have controlled BOTH Houses of Congress since 2006. What have they accomplished specifically other than overseeing the biggest deficit in American history, allowing Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to go unregulated with a blank check from the American Tax Payer, force solvent lenders into making bad loans and have aided and abetted in scandalous crimes by Acorn, then help cover them up while supporting Acorn with billions of dollars from the US Treasury?

“More power to you Nancy Pelosi” you say? Transparency she says. Give me a break I say.

The oil companies have made way too much money in the past 10 years. We used to call it price gouging. These companies were subject to anti-trust suits in the 1970′s, but ever since the anti-trust laws were rolled back under Reagan the oil companies have successfully consolidated into a legal little oligopoloy that takes advantage of consumers at every opportunity. It’s time for regulation, not time for giving a free ticket to these scalpers. Much of their oil is under U.S. soil, stretching miles in every direction beneath their claims. Those claims were granted to them for fair use, not for unfair trade practices. I admit, I don’t have stock in the oil companies, but hopefully that doesn’t make me biased. I do have stock in Microsoft, but I’m able to say that their trade practices pretty much stink too. But no one seems to bat an eye when Microsoft is reprimanded for taking advantage of the competition and the U.S. consumer. It’s time to stand up against the oil companies. More power to you Nancy Pelosi!
