Congressman Paul Calls for Hearings on Oil Prices and the Dollar

Washington , DC – Congressman Ron Paul, ranking member of the Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, has written a letter to Chairman Barney Frank of the House Financial Services Committee calling for a hearing on the relationship between the falling value of the dollar and the recent rise of oil prices, noting:

“The price of oil is currently among the most pressing issues to American workers. Congress should be examining all factors contributing to the high cost of oil, and monetary policy is one of the key factors in the run-up in price.”

The letter also points out that the price of oil in dollars has risen 39% this year. Oil in Euros has only risen 30% therefore the degraded purchasing power of the dollar accounts for at least 80 cents of the increased price of a gallon of gas.

“Neither the Federal Reserve nor the Treasury Department have been willing to take responsibility for the dollar’s slide over the past several years, while American consumers have been forced to pay continually higher prices for gasoline, heating oil, and numerous other imported products upon which Americans depend… American consumers cannot afford to allow continued lax Congressional oversight of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department’s duties as stewards of the dollar, especially since the dollar is a major factor in the skyrocketing price of oil,” the letter concludes.
Besides himself, 16 other Representatives signed on to the letter, including ranking member of the House Committee on Financial Services Spencer Bachus, and Chairman of the Republican Study Committee Rep. Jeb Hensarling.

I can never figure out how much to put away for with the gas prices changing every other day down here in Florida. Pinellas Park just of 45mins out side of Tampa.

gergie2 asked:

High oil and gas prices got you down? This video shows you how to drill your very own oil and gas well in Ohio. Grab your friends for this video. They won’t want to miss a chance to see how they can drill their own well! This Summer we drilled a 4,200′ deep Clinton well in Ohio. It turned out to be a good well. It will keep on producing for 30 years.

Monday Night Conversation with Method Man

Its the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against crimes like noisy portable radio, graffiti and public drunkenness.

The Wackness centers upon a troubled high school student named Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck)a teenage pot dealer who forms a friendship with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Ben Kingsley), a psychiatrist and kindred lost soul. When the doctor proposes Luke trade him weed for therapy sessions, the two begin to explore both New York City and their own depression.

Propelled by an exuberant hip hop score, The Wackness captures the spell of 1994–a time of pagers, not cell phones; a time when Tupac and Biggie were alive but Kurt Cobain had just died. Funny and moving, The Wackness is an offbeat tale of two lost souls stumbling towards maturity.

Will gas prices have any effect on your sports budget?
*sorry Howler, I didn’t mean to ask a question that is sorta similar to yours. I saw something like this on another website a while ago and thought of asking it here.

Paley Pale asked:


I know that it has a lot to do with market fluctuation but how does a gas station know when to change the price? And who gives them the order to change it? And why does it change so often?

I just generally want to know the process a gas station takes in order to change their prices.

What are gas prices right now in other countries? Like in England, Canada, France, or China? Just wondering if we are the only ones suffering, or if someone out there has it worse than we do!
