Oil execs in front of a congressional committee today

I was hoping to watch it on C-SPAN but it isn't on. Any thoughts about this? I would love to watch it, not really sure if it is meaningful or not.

Its just another meeting to justify why 100 billion in profit isn't enough modivation to explore new energy and oil fields and they require us to not only pay record prices, BUT pay in tax money too...

We use 116,982,500,000 Gallons of Gas a year... as per 2005.
The Oil industry received by some analysts numbers 37 billion in subsides in 07.

Which is basically 31 cents per gallon.

So you think your paying $3.40 per gallon... After you factor in the Tax money they get as well... your easily already paying close to or over 4.00 a gallon.

We can combat and control gas prices...
And not just with foreign policy, but in
every moment we drive!

I've spent 12 years mastering and writing
about most every aspect of driving. My latest,
over-analyzed (yet 100% honest) piece of work is,
"247 Gas Saving Tips to Help Save Gas, Pay Less
For Gas & Get More Miles Per Gallon 24/7!"

p.s. Thanks for the shameless promo. Not to forget
that 50% of the profits go to grassroots and
RP candidates and it's also how thousands can
be informed of Dr. Paul and honest knowledge.
(more on that to come)

I'm sure they will browbeat the oil companies as greedy capitalists while they convieniently forget the hundreds of billions their millitary contractors make off the war.

Of course, buying gasoline is voluntary, but paying for the war is not.
