Guys who bring this up on or.politics are usually called socialists,
communists, or America-hating lieberals, and the advice they're given is
to invest in XOM. To me, that's tantamount to investing in organized
crime. At some point we're either going to force them to put the national
interest over record oil prices, or pull a Chavez and nationalize it.
I'm not being a big-government socialist when I say that the federal
bureaucracy could run the oil industry at lower user cost. (Not
necessarily more efficiently, but in ways that are less damaging to the
US economy, transportation industries, etc.)


The very best way to lower prices on anything is to open up
the marketplace... encourage entrepeneurs to enter the market.

Ummm...SUPPLY?
