Oil companies are loving the gasoline panic of 2005

It's like a drug dealer temporarily not answering his pager.

Desperation sets in. The addict gets tense. With each hour the dealer doesn't call, the addict mentally raises the price he's willing to pay for his next fix.

5. What more do they want? They already are seeing record profits!
They are pushing the people too hard. There will uprisings and revolts. People can only take so much.

9. China needs to worry
as our disposable income is all sucked up by the Big Oil Administration and its' concocted war, they will have no market to sell their junk to. As to being holders of our debt, the Chinese government will be very leery of buying any more T-notes of a country teetering on the edge of a major economic depression.

Wait until the inflation shock of this massive increase in energy costs moves through all spectrums of our economy (farming, shipping, manufacturing) which are too big to be absorbed by the energy user and will be passed onto the consumer. We are in for Wiemar Republic type inflation in the very near future, even before we get the full bill of this illegal war.

Seems as if the economic chaos Osama Bin Forgotten wanted to achieve has been accomplished by his Fifth Columnists in the Rethug Party.
