FATCAT

You will see stories next winter of people finding old folks dead and frozen in their homes because they could not pay for heating oil or propane at $5.50 or $6.50/gal. The media will be ALL OVER those stories in a NY minute and use it to bash the oil companies.

In fact the year before last there was some old lady found frozen to death in Rochester NH cause she ran out of heating oil. A friend of mine (a NH state rep.) made a speach on the NH House floor afterwards RIPPING the local oil company about it, but in the end, nothing was done, no one was to blame.

Here in Cleveland Metro diesel is $4.09 to $4.19. I'm glad my truck is paid off. It would suck to make $400 + payments and then fuel costs on top of that, not to mention insurance.

Hey "justme"

That was some insightful arguments. I didn't realize a few of those things like the refinery accidents.

And I agree, NAFTA was pushed through by Bill, but the idea was actually the baby of Bush (the first one) and Gingritch. They got the high rolling republicans to support. Bush and Newt were kind of carrying on Reagan's policies of free trade. Reagan got the ball rolling with the Free Trade Agreement with Canada in '88. It was the first of it's type and was really the predecessor of all of our problems with free trade today. It's funny when people bring up NAFTA they hate to believe that it was started by one of the most popular republican presidents ever. Everyone likes to point the finger at Bill, but he really was the puppet of Bush and Gingritch.
