First of all, I'm in favor of making price gouging a crime, and in fact, one the reasons I didn't vote for the Republican House version was because there were too many breaks for the oil companies.

What's interesting is there are $12 billion of breaks in the energy bill that passed, yet we see that the sixth major oil companies in America last year made $1.1 trillion.

I think there's a point to regulating, because there are snake oil companies.

a gift to the oil companies.

The fact that there's a shakeout in the first generation of companies associated with it [the Internet] clouds the issue, but it is a tremendous productivity booster. The leading companies will benefit long-term.

In fact, ballet companies did not exist in the Midwest when I was a child.
