Not only THAT, John...but right now, the US is a net EXPORTER of oil and gasoline. In other words, we're selling more to other countries than we're importing. So DOMESTIC supply-and-demand has little effect on pump prices; WORLD supply-and-demand is a major part of what's driving prices.
So increasing domestic supply [a/k/a "Drill, baby, drill!"] will have little, if any, effect on price at the pump. Any politician who tells you otherwise is a liar [but then, by saying "politician," I suppose using the word "liar" makes that phrase redundant].
Kinda like my auto insurance...they told me that, even though my driving record was good, my rate was high because I was single, male, under 25, and drove to work. THAT, they explained, was their highest rate class. When I got married, my rates didn't go down. When I turned 25, my rates didn't go down. When I lost my job, my rates sure as hell didn't go down; because my credit was affected, my rates actually went UP. And to this day I have no desire to have a s*x change. So the fact of the matter is, even though I am allegedly out of their "highest rate class," my rates continue to go up, even though I've been accident-free and ticket-free for years. Oh, yeah; they told us that one "benefit" or mandatory auto insurance laws was that, because it would reduce the number of uninsured drivers, rates would go down. That was ANOTHER lie.
Now, I understand that oil companies are yet again reporting record profits; yet nobody's getting gouged.It's simply a response to world markets, and we need to get used to it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
