Doyle & Big Oil

The governor of Wisconsin called Big Oil to the state table to account for the rise in prices, record profits and apparent gouging. They did a slick tap dance and slithered on their way.

I wonder how it is that we subsidize corn growers, insist on 10% in our gas (in the five county metro Milwaukee area) and then charge more per gallon.

Supply and demand. I can almost here them say it.

Currently we’re at $2.10/gal. It’s been below $1.85 in neighboring states for weeks.

Who and what are we supporting around here?
