SoCal Deek Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) What ever happened to that magical release of oil from the petroleum reserve? Are we done with that? Did it work? 😂 Edited May 11, 2022 by SoCal Deek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeBills Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just remember, as bad as things are right now, our idiot Democrat leaders actually wanted to print and spend $6.5 TRILLION MORE dollars on their pet projects to buy votes...and when that didn't work they wanted $3.2 TRILLION...and when that didn't work they wanted $2.0 TRILLION...all on top of the unnecessary $1.9 TRILLION they printed when they came into office dubbed their "historic AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN". These people are so effing stupid they should be forced out of government NOW. The reality is they don't want you, the individual, to succeed...that does NOTHING for them. They want you to fail, so you NEED them, and they can come and rescue you with some tritely-named "rescue plan". Eff these people, they need to go. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it work? 😂 Oh its happening. The idea is to release 1M bbl/day into the market for a period of 60 days. For the purpose of adding supply and bringing down prices. So far, so good. But the problem is 1M isn't all that much on the world market. And it doesn't seem to have had much impact as we move into peak demand season for gasoline. But here's the fun part. The US DOE has put out RFP's for the purchase of 60M bbls at some point in the Fall. Or most likely after the mid-terms. At which time prices may be lower. Or they may be higher. My guess is higher. But there's more. Here's another brilliant idea. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-NOPEC-Bill-Could-Send-Oil-Prices-To-300.html From the very same political class that has no problem with the Treasury department intervening and managing prices in all kinds of markets via the Exchange Rate Stabilization Fund or the President's Working Group on Markets. Or what people in the markets call the Plunge Protection Team. Which authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to intervene in any market at any time without notice or disclosure. This isn't a Biden creation but rather something that's been official but unspoken US government policy for a few decades. It just points out the duplicity. We can manipulate prices and markets but you can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They care. Of course they do. To think they don’t is extremely cynical. And this is coming from one of the board’s biggest cynics.

As mainly political operatives and social activists with advanced degrees in all kinds of disciplines that are worthless outside of government and academia while also never working for a commercial enterprise in any management or ownership capacity they have no idea how the economy functions. They view more government, more laws, and more regulations as the solution to all problems. Edited May 12, 2022 by All_Pro_Bills 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSOL Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Our dollar is just being devalued the more debt our country goes into. And now everyone is looking at Rand Paul like he is the devil for trying to be fiscally responsible. While the Biden administration and the main stream media pour fuel on the fire in Ukraine. Instead of negotiating peace just dump a massive amount of American made and taxpayer paid for weapons of war into eastern Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense contractors are private companies with tentacles that reach deep into both sides of the aisle in corrupt Washington. You can’t simply end a war in Afghanistan without there being consequences to an industry that’s been cashing in for two decades. So presto….a new war pops up out of nowhere…and go figure, more military hardware suddenly needs to be sold. Amazing how that works! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 2018 budget plans include slashing the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) funding by a whopping $4.7 billion. This will bring the agency’s budget down to a total of about $17.9 billion, representing a 21 percent cut compared to the previous fiscal year. Budget cuts will affect a number of USDA’s programs, including food safety and international food aid--both of which are lumped into what’s been categorized as “discretionary” spending. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)--which controls the overwhelming majority of food inspections in the U.S., is expected to experience an 18 percent budget reduction. https://www.food-safety.com/articles/5228-trumpe28099s-budget-cuts-leave-food-safety-on-back-burner Just like lack of PPE in national reserve , Biden is playing catch up again to the damage done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's May 2022. And with mid-term election season and primaries kicking off the statute of limitations on blaming the previous administration has officially expired. Contact U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vilsack with questions. https://www.usda.gov/our-agency/about-usda/our-secretary For some clue on why everything is getting FUBAR'd please refer to his official bio. To quote one gem. "Secretary Vilsack continues to take bold, historic action to reduce barriers to access for historically under-served communities. By working to ensure all aspects of civil rights and equity are integrated, USDA is rooting out generations of systemic racism and building systems and programs inclusive of all USDA employees and customers." What that means in terms of action to get more and safer food to Americans I haven't a clue. But the statement checks all the social score boxes in the pretend, do nothing, know nothing fantasy world this administration lives in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
