Oil prices

[luvrbus]

The government is not going to allow us to cut ties with other countries we export our oil and import oil from the mid east there is to many tax dollars lost if we don't import oil the US receives over $.60 per barrel on imported oil do the math X's the oil we import vs what we export

I agree, the government is screwing us for the sake of tax revenue. They really are whores aren't they, likely not going to change anytime soon either

We're a Michelin National account for an over the road trucking company that we own...have been with Michelin for the past 25 or so years and I have NEVER seen them reduce tires prices despite the rise or fall of oil.  Only difference I see are tire prices rising faster when oil is high in cost.  Our truck tires have literally doubled in price over the last 5 years!

Someone say something about Hookers ... Or should I just go back to sleep?

$2.09 regular---$2.59 diesel--$2.35 LP today in Oregon. That's fact. The following, well, you decide. The price of fuel will go back up when the US and Saudis are done messing with Russia's economy. It sounds like the Russians are going to pull back from the Ukraine border, so the price of fuel might be changing sooner rather than later. This hypothesis is based on my personal observations and has no basis in reality. For that matter, I have no basis in reality. But I out-swam more than 100,000 identical twins to get here, so that must stand for something.

No reduction in diesel here and very little on gas. Our economy is 80 per cent based on oil revenue. Our new governor has already made some pretty drastic  changes because of the low oil prices. We have a $350 billion dollar shortage in the state budget that he is trying to figure out.....Bill

Hi Boxcar, in northern Nevada, the bordellos have signs over the doorway,  that say what the customers always do first! And some people might recall, the US govt got into the cat house biz, when they confiscated the Mustang Ranch from Joe Conforte,  but they couldnt seem to make a profit (?). Lvmci...

[billy6941]

My figures for our state budget shortfall were way too high. The actual figure should have been $3.5 billion......Bill

Kind of strange Lvmci, oldest profession in the world, and the government cannot make a profit?

I am curious tho, where is this state that has a $3.5B deficit, just wondering.

Hard to imagine any government spending money it doesn't have.

That would be up here in what was an oil rich state "Alaska" we are now in really bad shape.
Sounds like they might be loosing a few thousand soldiers also.

     That's OK.  They can see Russia from there!

That are a lot of Geetas ($35B) ... But when there is no sweat equity, money usually has no meaning to a politician.

Hey, Boxcar, the state in question is Alaska. Our state economy is 80 per cent oil money. Our budget, for 2015, was based on projection of oil prices and what the state gets as it's share. For 2015, we are short 3.5 billion.  And by the way, the world's oldest profession is not what everyone thinks......Bill

Hi, Bruce. I hope that remark was not meant to be attributed to Sarah. She didn't say that.....Bill
