I took the time to watch the Senate hearings today on C-Span. They had the oil company executives on the hot seat with the Democrats trying to brow beat the hell out of them. What a bunch of hypocritical assholes.
Here we have Schumer and his buddies who, over a couple of generations now, have voted down every effort to increase domestic oil production, both exploration and refining, have put the stops on all oil to coal and nuclear technology .. then turning right around and asking why the price of oil is so high. Unbelievable. Unbelievably stupid.
Schumer and several other Democrats, pompous asses that they are, kept suggesting that the oil company's profits are "excessive." This is coming from a body (both parties) who have placed our national debt over 58 TRILLION DOLLARS. I was hoping that one of the oil guys would ask: "Well Senator Schumer ... your organization has produced a debt of 58 trillion dollars and our organization has produced a healthy profit. Which is better in your mind, Senator?"
