Personally, I don't know why we would be giving subsidies at all. The fact that oil is at $10 or $60 is immaterial. Windfall profits taxes are equally moronic.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

No, not a huge amount but the point is they're letting the oil companies off from paying $7 billion in royalties for taking oil and gas off of publically owned land then the Bush administration wants to sell that same land to the oil companies for $1 billion. It would be in the public's interest to keep the land and force the companies to pay the royalties owed. That's the point.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

The real point is that the whole scheme needs to be revisited sooner rather than later, but as this year is an election year I see little chance of it happening.He's got the Midas touch.
