Proposal targets oil futures speculators
June 27, 2008
What's the biggest issue confronting Indiana 9th District candidates these days?
That's easy: Gasoline prices.
9th District Rep. Baron Hill introduced H.R. 6372 Wednesday to re-establish oversight of U.S. commodity markets to stabilize markets and lower gas prices.
"We need to close loopholes and help re-establish oversight of the commodities markets to ensure that gas prices truly reflect the laws of supply and demand," Hill said.
His opponents, Republican Mike Sodrel and Libertarian Eric Schansberg, both of New Albany, agree the cost of gas is the No. 1 issue on the minds of 9th District residents, but they disagree on whether regulation is the answer.Schansberg said ex-panding the oil supply, not regulating markets, is the better solution.
"It doesn't surprise me to see Baron wanting to regulate markets, thinking that more government is the solution to a problem," Schansberg said. "It would be a far better idea to expand the supply of domestic oil - to allow drilling off the Gulf Coast and in ANWR. From there, speculators will speculate in the opposite direction - that prices will be heading lower in the future."
Schansberg took a swipe at Republicans and Democrats alike over the energy issue.
