Cavuto dominates the “No Spine Zone”
From Sep.17, but I didnt have time to comment on it then…
This is how you paint a liberal into a corner. Neil Cavuto, Fox’s business news anchor, dominates Bill O’Reilly in a debate about oil companies “gouging the folks.” Cavuto’s simple math falls on O’Reilly’s deaf liberal ears.

O’Reilly didn’t bother to thank oil companies when oil tripled but gas didn‘t. What “compassion” they showed! O’Reilly’s perfectly entitled to be ignorant of market oil prices, but instead he pretends to be an expert, while ignoring stats that show gas prices do not increase, or decrease, at the same rate as oil prices.This is simple math! You don’t have to be an oil guru to understand it.
He acts as though there are no processes between pulling oil out of the ground and putting it in our tanks. Just because the price of a barrel of oil went up does not mean the price to refine it did as well, or the price to market it on TV, etc. A portion of the price of a gallon of gas will remain relatively constant while the price of an oil barrel may be dipping and climbing. This causes disproportianate changes in the two prices.
Cavuto concluded with a statement everyone should be taught in school: “Government cures are worse than the disease they address.”
And yes, I called Bill O’Reilly a liberal. Watch his show for a week. Anyone who calls him a conservative obviously doesn’t actually listen to what he says.
