Diesel Fuel Idea.......

OK I know this will make some of mad - not intended to - and it probably can't happen BUTTTTTTT - I'm so mad about these EXCESSIVE OIL PROFITS that I could scream.....And even the regular Republicans have to start saying something or else they'll get into trouble as well - well how about this......

1st - the vast majority of oil left to find is on land OWNED by the US Government - the Continental Shelf, almost all of the West and Alaska - I say that the US Government either require that all oil from those areas be sold at X (say $10/barrell) IN THE USA - and refined for domestic use at X ($1.00/gallon) - or something like that. If they don't like it SCREW THEM - they don't get any! Afterall the US Government made the Atomic Bomb - Not Coorporate America. We Should consider having our own US Government Owned Oil Exploration and Refineries that would run for No Profit!

Those products would be sold at stations to be built. This could be considered a National Emergency for economic and National Security - so eminent domain could be established to build stations. COMPETITION would make BIG OIL RUN and HIDE.

Not perfect - But it's OUR OIL NOT THEIRS to screw us with! Let them try and sell their expensive gas..........
