Where Will Oil Go From Here?

Jim:
Why bring politics into it? Whatever failed policies, regardless of what president was in office, have been passed by Congress just lends further credence to the argument that government should be relatively small and has its place, but only as a watchdog, defender against enemies and building/maintaining infrastructure, but not to promote social policies that nearly always fail, i.e., Subprime mortgages. You might study up on who started that mess and see if your political bias really justifies publication. Try any engine search and see how President Clinton initially began that program. Other Democrats, including many in the news today, kept the fuse lit for the past eight years by supporting Mae and Mac. Isn't it ironic how that situation just happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back and caused the government encouraged Wall St. house of cards to fall? Anyway, as far as the price of oil, your point is well taken, for the near future, it's in OPEC's hands, but we better be looking for alternatives during this period in history, including domestic production, or we're going to be up a creek without a paddle one of these days.
