Seeing as this is a political forum, I'll put this in. The owners of this oil field busineses are generally conservatives. They may take on risk to get rewards but these are calculated risks. And as conservative leaner's they won't do anything to help the other side of the isle. Look back at how the oil prices went when Obama took office. Not a conincidence. And it isn't now either.
Two kinds of money problems and these types can hold out until the next voting cycle as they crush us minions with higher prices and blame the left.
Food prices are heading the same way.
