OT - Interesting move - Politics of Oil

06/19/08 11:49 AM

China just made an interesting move. They are RAISING the price of oil in their country themselves. What will that do? Economics 101 - it will decrease demand/use. As demand falls so does prices.

Interesting move, I think. We could RAISE oil prices via a gas tax so that very few people will use gas. Yeah, it would temporarily impede our lifestyle, but it would force the oil companies to lower their prices.

Good points about rising gas prices:

We'll use less gas - better for the environment.

We'll have fewer cars on the road - better for traffic...I've already noticed that on my way to work each day.

The cost of shipping goods from overseas will increase the price of many goods, meaning it could become cheaper to make the goods here and in Mexico...bringing jobs back to North America.

And, with less demand, the oil producing nations will be making much less money and will have to lower their prices to get us buy more.

The Gov cannot give anything to anyone - that they have not first taken away from someone else.
