Re: Oil prices got you down?

Yeah, dead weight that feels sorry for everyone else and blames this country
for all the world's problems. They love self-inflicted punisment...
If you want to blame someone for the current state of oil, blame the
consumers in this country. Since everyone sees fit to buy foreign made
goods, thinking there are no repercussions, more and more goods are now made
in China, allowing them to be more prosperous and afford gasoline driven
transportation, causing a dramatic rise in damand and higher oil prices as a
result due to their huge population.
Here's the solution: buy American built products. The US is 1/3 the entire
world market for consumer goods. We are roughly equivlent to the entire
European Trade Union in size. We're the largest single-country market for
consumer goods. Yet, more and more we buy foreign made products. If we no
longer bought foreign made products, there would be less of it produced
there, and those countries would be less prosperous, decreasing their buying
power and the number of oil burning transportation units in use. When there
is a demand for more domestically built product, there will both be more
jobs in this country and a larger supply of jobs vs. a rather static demand
for them means more pay. More pay means you can easily afford the gasoline,
and with less demand around the world, assuming constant OPEC production,
that means lower prices for it.
And, let me point out that not all Ford, GM, or DC cars are built in the US.
You have to be a concious consumer.
I'm not for putting up barriers to trade. If we still had the trade barriers
that existed in the late '70's, we'd still be driving the same poorly built
vehicles with yesterday's tech and built-in factory defects. Competition
improves the breed. I just advocate that you buy American by choice.

jobs in this country and a larger supply of jobs vs. a rather static demand
for them means more pay. More pay means you can easily afford the gasoline,
and with less demand around the world, assuming constant OPEC production,
that means lower prices for it.
And, let me point out that not all Ford, GM, or DC cars are built in the US.
You have to be a concious consumer.
I'm not for putting up barriers to trade. If we still had the trade barriers
that existed in the late '70's, we'd still be driving the same poorly built
vehicles with yesterday's tech and built-in factory defects. Competition
improves the breed. I just advocate that you buy American by choice.
> bleeding heart liberals, all you can do is whine. You're just dead
> weight!
Yeah, dead weight that feels sorry for everyone else and blames this country
for all the world's problems. They love self-inflicted punisment...
If you want to blame someone for the current state of oil, blame the
consumers in this country. Since everyone sees fit to buy foreign made
goods, thinking there are no repercussions, more and more goods are now made
in China, allowing them to be more prosperous and afford gasoline driven
transportation, causing a dramatic rise in damand and higher oil prices as a
result due to their huge population.
Here's the solution: buy American built products. The US is 1/3 the entire
world market for consumer goods. We are roughly equivlent to the entire
European Trade Union in size. We're the largest single-country market for
consumer goods. Yet, more and more we buy foreign made products. If we no
longer bought foreign made products, there would be less of it produced
there, and those countries would be less prosperous, decreasing their buying
power and the number of oil burning transportation units in use. When there
is a demand for more domestically built product, there will both be more
jobs in this country and a larger supply of jobs vs. a rather static demand
for them means more pay. More pay means you can easily afford the gasoline,
and with less demand around the world, assuming constant OPEC production,
that means lower prices for it.

No, they just think that you shouldn't fix stuff that isn't broken. Liberals
seem to invision some Utopia, thinking that making policy changes to strive
for such a society won't have any negative effects. However, with just about
every change, there is both positve and negative effects. Their supposed
visionary thinking just screws the world up.
