the fast and loose devaluing of our money is at least partially from

big oil owns the white house and congress, and were getting screwed


Nice theory, but it doesn't explain why countries with even less of an
energy policy than we are seeing the cost of oil go up too.

As to oil companies owning the White House and Congress, who would you
rather own them? Rice farmers? Rat Terrier breeders? The AMC Gremlin Fan
Club?

At least with oil companies, when you get screwed, you get lubed up first.
