ATA Agrees with Bush?

Posted on 27-04-2006

Only proves the ATA is filled with idiots that have no idea about trucking.

ATA supports president’s fuel price initiatives
President Bush April 25 announced measures to try to stem increases in retail fuel prices, and Bill Graves, president and chief executive officer of the American Trucking Associations, applauded the initiatives.

Bush is delaying this northern summer’s deposits to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, an emergency stockpile of government-owned crude oil. “So by deferring deposits until the fall, we’ll leave a little more oil on the market,” Bush said during a speech in Washington at the Renewable Fuels Association, a trade group for the ethanol industry. “Every little bit helps.”

"Every little bit helps?" Putting a few more barrels of crude on the market is a drop in the bucket and does nothing for refinery capacity and the process of changing blends (whatever that is). I’m full of solutions right now - How about lowering the federal and state taxes by half. That would be about 40 cents. That would make $3.00 a gallon, $2.60 a gallon TOMORROW.

The plan calls for making sure consumers and
taxpayers are treated fairly, promoting greater fuel efficiency,
boosting the U.S. gasoline supply and investing aggressively in
gasoline alternatives. Bush also has ordered a federal investigation
into possible cheating, price gouging or illegal manipulation in the
gasoline markets. And he gave the Environmental Protection Agency the
authority to suspend regional clean-fuel standards where it would help
to maintain adequate fuel supplies.

How about a plan to investigate the EPA, the IRS and DOT about where all my highway money is going, why my new truck motor is going to cost $10,000 more in 2007 than in 2006? How about boosting fuel efficiency in trucks? What about all the cheating, price gouging and illegal manipulation of my highway tax dollars? Investing in alternatives? How about alternative drilling locations besides the Middle freakin’ East?

The EPA option does not mean the agency will
relax its engine emission requirements to allow for lower-quality
quality fuel to be sold, said John Millett, an EPA spokesman.

Did I mention new trucks are going to be $10,000 more because of stupid EPA unrealistic crap regulations?

How about drilling Alaska? Alaskans love that idea, let’s make Alaska look like a pin cushion. Screw the Caribou! The outer continental shelf offshore? Yeah, that too. Between the OCS and Alaska we could stop giving crazy dictators our hard earned money, buy American oil and tell those sand people to drown in their stupid oil. I’m ready to vote everyone out of office and start over. Eight year olds could run the country better then these idiots.

It appears to me the real problem with the prices of oil based products isn’t so much the supply of crude oil, but, the basic refineries themselves.

We have suffered losses of refineries and no replacements. WHY? I ask.

It would seem to me, and to most other people, if we needed the refineries when they were first built, after they were destroyed or dismantled, or whatever reason that exists for them to quit producing finished oil based products, we still need them now that they are gone.

There has been some suggestions by the oil companies to increase the number of refineries to help reduce the supply of oil based products. There has been strong opposition by the enviromentalists as well.

Even though I think the enviromentalists are too diligent with their opinions and their voices to create new policies and have a large contribution to this oil supply problem as a direct and/or indirect result, I believe they have done us some good.

I am not suggesting we ignore everything that the enviromentalists stand for (I think we should keep in the back of our minds for the good they have done), but, in light of the major supply problem of oil based products, we need to overlook some of their issues and use our modern technology we have today compared to decades ago and build newer and bigger refineries to alleviate this ongoing problem of oil products supply.

We have old and discontinued military bases throughout the country, whether it be inland or along the coasts. Those would be ideal locations to build these very much needed oil refineries and would put a lot of people back to work and help their local economics as well as the national economics with the lowered prices of oil products.

I invite all of the policy makers and thinkers who run this country to use your heads, and not your wallets, to consider my ideas I presented here.

You may make a few board of directors of the oil companies mad at you for daring to lower their modest (?) incomes, but, in the other hand, you have made friends of the many millions of people who voted for you to begin with. Treat the people you represent with pride and dignity, and most of all, the way you would want us to represent you.
