You mustn't have heard, hiding profits is a common occurence and companies never get caught. :lol: :lol:

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I said I would take less profit from the oil co.'s (reckon that would make the rest of my portfolio do better, provided they lowered the gas prices with my decrease along with millions of others) for the benefit of America, the country that gave me the opportunity to go from a 5 yr. old cottonpicker and made the oil co's what they are today. You do know the middle class is shrinking don't you? Do you like that fact?
TSR said:The Bush Bust-- Regulatory Disregard
Obama's White House has approved fewer regulations than his predecessor George W. Bush at this same point in their tenures, and the estimated costs of those rules haven't reached the annual peak set in fiscal 1992 under Bush's father, according to government data reviewed by Bloomberg News.
Obama's White House approved 613 federal rules during the first 33 months of his term, 4.7 percent fewer than the 643 cleared by President George W. Bush's administration in the same time frame, according to an Office of Management and Budget statistical database reviewed by Bloomberg.

It doesn't matter how many you approve or even have-- if you tell your underlings to do nothing, just to shuffle papers and make it look like you're enforcing them.....

The other Trillions $ are what is being required to do and recommended by most leading economists to keep the country from imploding....Trillions $ that probably would never have had to be spent if GW had done his job as an administrator and even enforced the laws on the books- and provided the oversight which was the Administrations duty to do...
How many agencies now have the empolyees came forward and said "we were told to do nothing, shuffle paper, look busy" or "take an 8 year coffee break" or "change the facts to make it look good- or safe"
USDA, FDA, EPA, CDC, CFTC, SEC, etc. etc....

I was cruising down the road yesterday talking to my dogs, and old JoAnn's name popped into my mind...Remember JoAnn the USDA administrator that was supposed to be in charge of all the PSA & GIPSA investigations-- who's employees/investigators all told Congressional oversight investigators that she had stifled and buried investigations- and told them to "do nothing, but shuffle papers and look busy" :???: Who then got off without any criminal charges because she resigned and they let her off for just being "incompetent" :???:

During her tenure on the CFTC, Born lobbied Congress and the President to give the CFTC oversight of off-exchange markets for derivatives in addition to its role with respect to exchange-traded derivatives,[4] but her warnings were opposed by other regulators.[5] Born resigned as chairperson on June 1, 1999, shortly after Congress passed legislation prohibiting her agency from regulating derivatives.[6]
