Boy, if there are two words that shouldn’t be next to each other they’re “massive” & “tax”. Okay, maybe “explosive” & “Diarrhea” are worse combination.

I suppose a huge tax could drive down the price. But it seems keeping over-speculation in check serves not only to possibly lower oil prices, but regulating this activity would also maybe dampen price volatility as well.

Let’s do both: drill domestically & close the speculative loop hole. Not sure how I feel about a new gas tax. That wouldn’t be fair to the working poor. We really need to focus any new taxation on the rich instead.

Thanks for the input asianautica. That’s interesting about the impact in both directions. I hadn’t thought of that.

Even if addressing the problem re: excess speculation is a “patch” it seems like an easy fix to at least stabilize things in the near term.

I am not against opening refineries or more drilling, but those are more long-term solutions as I understand it.

Partyup,

Technically I said… “people LIKE jficquette & partyup” … you being an attorney might appreciate that clarification. I meant persons on this HOUSING site who wish to rant about politics with a lot of emotion & little factual support. I was unaware that you had only started one post, but given the fairly lengthy comments you’ve provided in this thread, I would be willing to consider this multiple posts… say half a dozen?

🙂

Aecetia,

That really is good idea. We’ve talked about that a lot. I still think the market there has some correcting to do (I’m thinking at least 2 more years), and I will continue to keep a close eye on things. Hopefully we’ll be in a position to invest by then.

In an odd way, Spokane really reminds me of 1970’s Poway or even Clairmont. It’s sad how over-developed San Diego has become, but I guess you can’t have a jewel like that locked up forever.
