contracts. Southwest airlines had just signed into a long term contract when the fuel prices started to rise, so they didn't take the monetary slam the others took which allowed them to weather the storm pretty easily and show a profit.

Bush is an oil man. His friends are oil men. Private or public interests haven't constructed any new refineries in a very long time. Any oil private companies do refine are sold elsewhere. We have to buy oil from people who don't like us. The government doesnt care. YOU ARE ALL ON YOUR OWN PEOPLE. THE US GOVERNMENT DOESNT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FAMILY. Are you going to let them keep on stabbing you in the back? HEY, ITS OUR OWN FAULT, EVEN MINE.
