This will be the last time I comment on this subject, I know some of you are quite glad to read this fact. Paul, the Congress of the US calls it subsidies. But, you don't agree with the terminology they use, so it must not be a subsidy???? I have read and heard some arrogant things in my 50+ years here on this earth, but I think you take the prize. I got my info from the Library of Congress and you told me to do my homework. I give you some of the Bills in said Congress,this session of Congress, again you say I haven't done my research. You give a website as your proof, they work for Oil Companies, Oil Speculators and Investors. In fact I see where they have commented on prospectus that I have used. They are where I got some of my facts about pricing collapsing when OPEC couldn't control their members but,I read and used points without "cherry picking" their reports. So to everyone, I know this so called debate between myself and Paul is either entertaining or stupid. Most likely both. Read the House and Senate Bills, for yourselves and decide if you are interested. If the one's footing the money in Congress call them subsidies, if BP calls them subsidies in House subcommittee meetings on the Artic pipeline. If the Oil Corporation Chairman's call them subsidies in Senate Hearings, then maybe you will decide what to call them. Don't let me or Paul talk over each other, make up your own minds, because as the taxpayer you are the ones paying out the monies.
