what about another national gas strike

Too many people are following some of our political leaders and demonizing oil companies. Again, I reiterate, their profit margins are 4% to 8%, which is in the midrange for US companies. (The government makes about 15% true "windfall profit" on each gallon of gas sold).

READ THIS: the value of the US dollar is falling like a rock. International oil purchases are made in US dollars. Only one entity has control of the value of the dollar, and that is the US government. Because the value of the dollar is falling daily, bulk oil sellers (OPEC, etc.) are demanding more dollars. The price per barrel of crude in Euros is rising nowhere nearly as fast. They are not inflating their money supply in Europe.
