    If the Mcf , did not have such a hard on for Crooked al, the foolem would not cover it either.

    You could tell that the foolum is holding Mcf back. So much more could be said about this so many more dots could be connected.

    Thanks..........

    I thought that that was who it was but didn't want to type it without knowing for sure.

    How in the eff does that scream anything other than kickbacks from big oil? In my opinion, there could no other motivation for a proposal that stupid.

    Well, Heitkamp would've taken all the cut to the oil extraction tax and put it into starting a state-run oil refinery... so the state finances have been even worse off under that scenario.

    Will be interesting because there are a lot of people in the 40-80 year old range out there that came out of the baby boomers children of the dirty 30s/WWII marriages, and many of those "farmers" had to go through the rough years of the 80s in the ag climate that killed off a lot of family farms, that don't spend extravagantly. Now whether those decedents get a bit more loosey goosey with their money remains to be seen. But no doubt some of the royalty money is staying in the area, seems like every day see someone buying what used to be a local bank out that direction... probably a reason for that.

    That said money there alone isn't going to balance the state books, but it definitely helps on income taxes and sales taxes, considering some of that money is actually staying in the state.

    Of course many Beverly Hillbilly millionaires were made so that's a good deal.

    Don't forget about the free milk for needy school kids program.

    Wasn't there talk about using the oil money for free college tuition?

    If the price of crude oil goes up, fuel prices go up the same day. When crude oil goes down, it takes weeks for fuel prices to go down.

    Isn't that the truth, The spot price on gas has dropped $.20 in the last 2 weeks but when I filled up yesterday it was about the same price at the pump. It will usually run about .40 sometimes up to .60 over the spot, we are at closer to .65. It should be flirting with sub $2.00 at pump soon if it stays low and supplies work back through system. It will just take one station to drop it and the rest will follow.

    It's a conspiracy! Why isn't there a blue ribbon panel of senior us senators investigating?

    Did you ever notice that when wheat prices fluctuate bread prices don't? How about milk? Dairy farmers are getting screwed by real low prices but I haven't seen milk, cheese or yogurt prices drop?
