Texas is facing serious price hikes in the sectors related to the consumption fuels. There are many initiative steps taken by Vicki Truitt regarding the raising prices of almost all the commodities. The min concern is about gas pump, energy prices have risen tremendously. There are the placements of the meetings and various demonstrations regarding the price hikes of various commodities. All these speculations are done on the basis of both press reports and personal experiences that the people of Texas are facing on the daily basis. It is pity that the rises in prices of almost all the commodities have resulted in the fall of living standards of the people. There is tremendous change in everyone’s lifestyle and hobbies. The budget whether be it of household commodities or any organizational programming; the hike in prices s affecting almost all levels of human living standards. The changes in the prices, rather the sudden rises are creating great problems in the management criteria of all aspects. There are many organizational and professional helps are being opted for the same. It is an important point of concern and the government needs to do something about it. As per the local reporter David Disiere, the concern is getting vital as it is leading to a kind of economic sufferance added by the moral degenerations. Inflation is another factor that can add more miseries to the living process. The public concern is very important and the awareness among every person living in Texas needs to take some initiative. Rise in prices for all the commodities is a very dangerous and important aspect towards he fall of the government too and thus this needs to be handled as soon as possible

They are putting a mighty big target on their backs.

Every country has the right to profit from the land's mineral resources and sell it at the going rate. We aren't going to sell our coal for anything less just because the Indians are doing it tough. We benefit just as much as the arabs do. It's people that talk like that (and the Americans that act on it) that makes so many in the middle east despise us. The Europeans have been paying much high petrol prices for years and they don't feel the need to whinge. It's not like we didn't see it coming and we only have ourselves to blame if we don't adjust in time.

By who Sappho?

It was announced today that the Iraqi government has now given the major oil companies access to their prized oil wells, so the US's suffering might only be short lived.  It only took close to a million deaths, 3 million refugees and a devastated and defeated country to hopefully alleviate the pain of the petrol guzzlers.

Whoever said we went to war to bring democracy to Iraq was right - but only democracy for the multinationals.  Nelson was also right - we invaded and destroyed a country for oil.

What complete leftist nonsense.

A war is always far more expensive than fuel.
A totally uneconomic rationale.

Hey! Don't equate that to the Left! We're not all partied to it.
FD is on his own there.

The pathetic Arab exporters get a pittance for what they gladly hand over to the Western oil companies. Since the 2002 invasion of Iraq, American oil companies have reported 4 fold increases in their profits. It's quite clear who's doing all the profiteering here.

So you keep saying. But this argument completely lacks perspective. How do the profits of American oil companies from middle eastern oil compare with the income that remains in the middle east? I expect you'll find that the bulk remains in the middle east.

How much?
