The farmers won't be bringing it in to the farmer's markets either because they won't be able to afford the gas. They might not even be able to afford the diesel to plant and harvest it. That should make the liberals happy, no more organic spinach. For that matter, you want to see excess profit and price gouging? Go to Starbucks! $4.00 for a @#$%^& cup of coffee? That's GOUGING. That's over $20 per gallon... FOR COFFEE! It doesn't effect me, I don't drink coffee. I'm just waiting to see what happens when Starbucks hits $7.50 for a cup of coffee. Watch the liberals whine then. With the way that dairy prices and transportation costs on coffee are going, it probably won't be long.

That has been the plan all along, this is devilish dealings and the Dems are at the back of making it look like Bush is the cause of the oil prices going up, and then the 'BIG LIE' begins to be believed that OBAMA THE GREAT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SAVE AMERICA. DEVIDE AND CONQUER IS THE GOAL OF THE DEMS. I BELIEVE WE ARE GOING TO BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE REALLY WISING UP TO THEIR NASTY PLAN. I'M TRUSTING GOD ON THIS ONE, BUT STILL CLINGING TO MY GUN JUST IN CASE. =)) BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. OBAMA IS KNOCKING UP AMERICA!

Also Libs Rule, how do you suppose, even if they are able to define what a reasonable profit is, they are going to control how the oil companies calculate profit? There are all sorts of accounting things that can be done to affect the bottom line. The "tax the oil companies" idea is a simplistic supposed fix for people that don't know better. And how will that balance supply and demand? PCD #10 beat me to the punch on “unreasonable profit”.

The fact that a lot of our bridges and tunnels are behind on their inspection and maintence, I'd not want to mess with this. What happened in MN would be just the beginning. Here's a start. How about an excise tax on imported oil? Then let the oil companies make their own decisions. Electric companies would be serious about alternatives because oil would become more expensive. How's that for "sense and honesty"? NY-David Actually the gas tax goes toward highway improvement (or at least its supposed to).

Who determines what is unreasonable profit? Is it a set rate where all companies in any sector will be hit? How about trial lawyers? What is unreasonable profit from class action lawsuits? The government makes more on a gallon of gas than the oil companies do. What about slashing the gas tax??? Or is that too much sense and honesty for you Democrats?

…which is why they will lose seats in Congress this year.

When Senate Democrats get as close as they possibly can to 60 seats next January, the Republican fillibuster will become ineffective.

People can smell political “death” in the air already…and it’s coming from your side. (!)
