View Full Version : Bill O'Reilly got his butt handed to him in an argument about oil prices

He kept talking about gouging and limiting the amount of money that an oil company can make.

The guy asked if they should do that in O'Reiley's industry. Do you think you make to much Bill.

He kinda puckered up like someone brought a sex scandal. Sometimes I come down on Bill's side of the arguement but a lot of times I think he talks to hear himself talk.

O'Reilly, as bright as he is, doesn't seem to understand economics. Every time he argues with Neil Cavuto about the oil industry, he is torn a new one. I have heard him say he comes from a family that was union, and I believe that upbringing shows in his thinking.("stick it to the man" stuff)

His analysis is based on emotion and not reality.

"Big Oil" in this country doesn't control the oil in this world, and prices are going up world-wide. Explain that?

So your saying that If you sold something thats VALUE and DEMAND increased, you shouldn't make any more money?? But its still your damn fault the price went up??

Come on man, use some common sense. :rolleyes:

ExxonMobil, BP, Shell might be big companies, but they PALE in comparison and don't control this stuff like you think they do. Look at a Saudi Aramco, PEMEX, INOC, KNOC, PDVSA, Petrobras, PetroChina, CNOOC or other NATIONAL oil companies for that, controlled by other countries.

And if you want cheaper gas, the let the US majors build some damn refineries!

I cheer high oil prices and pray they go higher. Gotta break some eggs for an alternative energy omelet.

Naw, really?


All of these talking heads love to hear themselves talk. That's why they are
so rude and talk over each other.

Gas prices going to $4 has very little to do with oil prices.
More to do with speculation of the possibility of shortage (not an actual shortage), and a limited production of gas. The fact that there are so many different types of gas that has to be produced to satisfy all the different state regulations. Oil companies are playing by the rules set by the congress, and environmental lobbyist. I think its time for term limits.
