Comments on: More oil miscues, and then maybe a bipartisan retreat from the brink? http://blog.psaonline.org/2006/05/04/more-oil-miscues-and-then-maybe-a-bipartisan-retreat-from-the-brink/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:45:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: a http://blog.psaonline.org/2006/05/04/more-oil-miscues-and-then-maybe-a-bipartisan-retreat-from-the-brink/comment-page-1/#comment-159 a Wed, 05 Jul 2006 17:59:32 +0000 http://blog.psaonline.org/?p=27#comment-159 Yada, yada, yada. Thank you for this unenlightening drivel, Mr. Schoolmarm. No one suggests that supply and demand are NOT factors, nor that oil companies can set whatever prices they wish. But Econ 101 also teaches (or should) that industrial concentration also leads to higher prices. There is so much that is weak in your analysis I don't know where to start -- and don't have time for it. But quit sucking up to an ideology that you hope will get funding for your impoverished academic ass. Yada, yada, yada. Thank you for this unenlightening drivel, Mr. Schoolmarm.

I'm quite impressed with your new blog effort. And thanks for the NCEP link. I have been procrastinating on their 148-page report. You gave me some needed motivation...

Just tonight i saw John Edwards (remember him?) blaming the President for high gas prices. Fact is, he and his fellow Dems blocked any kind of energy proposal for years, until the Energy Bill was passed last year. It's far from perfect, but saying no for the sake of no (the Democratic platform these days) is certainly no position from which to blame the President for gas prices.
