Reasonable or not, I like it.





Note that we already buy most of our oil from Canada already. I'm not saying we don't get any from them, because we do, just not all of it.





We should start raising the price of our commodities exports. $30 bread for the world, $1 bread for us. I like it.Oil price solution?
actually, that isn't how things work, but carry on, I wouldn't want to ruin your dreamworld.


















































BAH! what do I care about your little dreamworld reality?!





There are two major problems with the price of oil, and that is the value of the dollar, and the fact that the recently built exchanges in other countries aren't highly regulated.





BTW what you just suggested, is price controls, which is socialism or fascism, depending on where the idea originates, and how it is implemented.
er... or sell it to everyone else and get yer grain elsewhere giving 3rd party nations the chance to sell the oil required to run America for much more than the Arabs were going to get enriching everyone, except, er, the Americans who will be stuck w. rotting grain(s) and no market for them.


I say, capital idea Baldric!
yeah but we need and want thier oil more than they need and want our grain... lots of other places can and do grow good grains and at large quantities, not to mention all the alternative food sources such as range fed livestock, fruits, native wildlife, etc...... not exactly an abundance of oil supply out there or readily available alternative fuels ( mostly due to gov't ineptitude)... PLUS oil supply is very close to falling behind demand, food is not, at least not yet but some climate changes might change that soon enough
Ditto! I'm into land development. Through the years I've seen a lot of good farm land be developed into subdivisions..





I often thought that farm land should not be developed. In fact it should be against the law. Because one day we'll have the food and other nations will have the oil and we'll trade real nicely as such.
Maybe we ought to try not all driving Yukons, Explorers, Hummers, Suburbans, Land Rovers (for those who need status but never leave a paved road) giant full sized pickups for those who haul a piece of 4x8 plywood once every 3 years, etc. etc. Once our consumption goes down SIGNIFICANTLY, the price of oil will follow. It's a little pesky capitalist thing called 'supply and demand'. Exacerbating the problem are oil speculators, who are 'betting' on the price of oil increasing and driving up the price of 'futures', and the weak dollar, which currency oil is traded in.
Yea last I heard we had a sizable market control over the grain market.





Get real.





Anyone can grow grain.. not everyone can grow oil. These two commodities shouldn't even be compared. They will buy it cheaper somewhere else... and our grain industry will collapse.
reasonable solution
I like this better :

Motor scooters are looking pretty darned good right now!
Vote McCain. At least he wants to explore all possibilities and not ban anything!
Oil has put us on a slippery slope. {;-)
Brilliant. I'm sure everyone can afford to buy bread at $30 a loaf!
Its not the amount of oil thats the problem but the American dollar losing its value.
we should go back to using horses
