If I EVER meet an oil speculator, they're going to have A VERY BAD DAY!

Here an interesting fact!

The theory behind the setting of oil prices is that price is determined by the fundamentals of supply and demand. The fact of the matter is that there is more supply and less demand today than there was two years ago when gas prices averaged about $2.44 a gallon.

What more can you say...

The increased cost of oil and gasoline is damaging the American economy and is causing severe economic pain to millions of people, especially in rural America, who often have to drive long distances to work. Many workers are already seeing stagnant or declining wages and high gas prices are just taking another bite out of their paychecks.

The Great Depression of 2008 to 2012+++ Not a recession!

I don't understand what I'm hearing form this guy. He supports Cap&Trade, which would have a far more drastic effect on oil prices, than speculation ever could.
Where is the consistency?
So if govt gets the money, through forceful appropriation, then all's fine, but if private industry gets it through voluntary exchange, then 'Houston We Have A Problem'!
At what point do people finally see the absurd hypocrisy of bureaucracy?
