Generally, uneven income taxation is structured to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. Some believe this is needed to counteract the ';rich get richer / poor get poorer'; problem.
Price controls help break a problematic balance. Attempts to reduce inflation have a tendency to increase unemployment, and vice versa. Price controls help to break the uneven social effects.
Generally, the poor and the most menial workers are hardest hit by unemployment when inflation controls are attempted. Price controls can help to curb inflation without using unemployment as the ultimate result.
These methods are used to help social balance due to the way that rich people and large corporations are able to influence their environment to their favor.Can anyone describe the effects of taxation and price controls on the economy?

How long will it take our oil president to step up and address the out of control gas prices?
do not hold your breathHow long will it take our oil president to step up and address the out of control gas prices?
He is focused on price fixing by the micro chip companies in California.How long will it take our oil president to step up and address the out of control gas prices?
With the new conflict heating up right now, we'll be lucky if our oil prices don't top the $4/gallon mark before long. I can't stand Dubya, but he won't have much control over that.
People are funny, they like it when their house price goes up, their stocks picks go up , their collectibles prices go up etc but they don't like it when someone Else's products price goes up. Which way you want it?
I am thinking the last 3 days of his term in office
It's probably making him laugh all the way to the bank.
Ummm, what is he supposed to do?
Okay, let me clue you in on something. Gas prices in Germany (where I am right now) are well over $7 a gallon. In the 1960s, when this country was reeling from WWII, gas was nearly $2 a gallon. And that's when the currency favored the dollar.
At that time, President Bush was, what, fifteen? Is he supposed to fix that, too?
Funny, people say he's such a dictator, and a Fascist (not you specifically, but many others), yet he needs to take control of more things? Can't have it both ways. Either he's a dictator, or he lets business set the prices. Which is it?
Out of control??? His family and friends are loading their pockets to the point of bursting. It's all in total control!!!
Until We Burn The Bushes The Barrels Will Continue To Rise,Fact Remains the Bush Family Owns Most of the Oil Owned On American Soil %26amp; Their To Cheap to Release It And Help The Ones They Call Their People I Love This Country I Am An American but I Hate My Government %26amp; Wish nothing Good For The Bush Family If Sponge Bob Square PantsTook Over We'd Be In betetr Shape
Other than pushing for a cut in Federal fuel taxes, or pushing for further relaxation of environmental protection laws, what is the guy supposed to do? He can't just wave a magic wand and make prices go down, and he doesn't have the authority to tell private oil companies what to do.

How do you use wage and price controls in a sentence that illustrates the meaning of it?
To achieve price control, the firm argues that they must lower the men's wages so that the buyers will still be able to afford their product.

There are two systems to run an economy. First is Socialism and second is Capitalism. the concept of price control is applicable under the socialist system. and we know what happened to most of the socialist economies. the solution lies not in control but with better management of economy. better economic policy and their implementation. but for some essential commodities you may say some kind of price control is required but not for everything, let the market forces determine the price. for the last 50 years we had the price control system but can you say condition of poor was better at that time.
Price controls never work. I remember how difficult it was to purchase anything in the old USSR back in the 70's when they had too many Ruples chasing too few goods. When the price it too low, then too few goods come to the controlled market... they find their way to the black market where they are sold at a price the market will bear. I suspect price controls will always generate criminal enterprises.
I suggest India implement a progressive tax system to build infrastructure %26amp; assist those beneath the poverty line with better education %26amp; medical care. The rich live way too well there %26amp; are almost kings.
*Yup !!
Yes. You are right.
Look at the past when these measures were tried. When gvmt places limits on prices, the price sky rockets.
Gvmt cannot limit prices. When they do, production decreases and prices increase. But since prices can't rise, production again declines. New products come out that are similar and have a very high price.
If you want lower prices, lessen gvmt control and implement more Capitalism.
It is only the govt which is responsible for the price rise.By allowing private playersinto the retail market the govt indirectly increased the velocity of money circulation in the market.It is too late to control the situation Regular use of credit cards demand drafts banker's cheques by the public can help the situation to some extent.Ther should be a thorough check on the artificial shortage of commodities, The govt also should ensure there are no missinglinks in the supplychainof essential commodities.Bogus ration cards are to be detected and taken out of circulaton.Public distribution system is to be streamlined properly.The Rythu Bazars introduced by Chandra Babu Naidu -A.P.Chief Minister are working well .Both the farmers and the consumers are getting benefit from this concept.Maintaining or holding the price line in a country like ours is a very difficult exercise.There shold be a harmonious development of agriculture and industry in the country to ensure a reasonable in the price structure.mineral makeup

B) Would you expect builders and restaurateurs to have the same degree of control over price? Explain.?
Masss: almas_bins@yahoo.co.inB) Would you expect builders and restaurateurs to have the same degree of control over price? Explain.?
From the builders side of things, he uses mostly subcontractors from the various trades so they each make a little money and the builder can expect to make 10 to 20 percent. Actually 10 is good these days. So it doesn't sound like the builder has as much control as the restaurateur.B) Would you expect builders and restaurateurs to have the same degree of control over price? Explain.?
I have no idea about construction but I do know restaurants.
When deciding the price of a menu item you first have to determine the cost. If it is a food item you have to figure how much you spent on each ingredient, if it is something you buy premade then your cost is simple.
Generally the price should be 3-4 the cost of the item.
So a restauranteur has complete control over his prices but if he wants to make money he must cost out his products and price accordingly.

Does OPEC control fuel prices of American petroleum inside America?
Phillips 66 does not import their oil. Does OPEC control them also? If, not, can the company set it's own cost on the fuel to be sold to the consumers, or are they bound, in some way, to charge the same as every other oil company?Does OPEC control fuel prices of American petroleum inside America?
Since OPEC's members produce the majority of oil consumed, they are the principle force behind the price of oil since they control supply at the margins. Yes, there is a future's market and a lot of speculative money has piled into oil contracts but OPEC has the biggest influence on prices and that includes the price Phillips 66 pays or sells at.

What if we control gas prices instead of other countries.?
Would that makes our prices go down if we controled everything, instead of china, and other countries. It's a rip off paying 3:25 a gallon.What if we control gas prices instead of other countries.?
Then the people that live in this country that own the foreign oil companies would make less money. They don't want that. Ask Cheney.What if we control gas prices instead of other countries.?
It is indeed a rip-off paying $3.25 a gallon, and the crooks are us. If environmental degradation caused by burning gasoline were fairly priced, gasoline price should be well above $10 a gallon...
First of all, how would you (the US) conspire to totally control the price of oil? Do you seriously think that China would let you simply do that?
You pay $3.25/US gall, and that is a lot less than most of the rest of the world. I wish you could all appreciate how much the rest of the world pays. In Melbourne, Australia, we are paying $AUD 1.40+ per litre, and you are payin $AUD 0.97 a litre (yes, I checked the exchange rates and volume conversions). In Europe, they pay a lot more.
I guess it is frustrating seeing you all complain about petrol prices when you apy a lot less and generally drive larger vehicles.
Your rip-off is relative, but I think it would also be best if the US had no control on fuel prices: then you would pay your fair share.
Oh, and I would stop complaining about China gaining control of resources such as oil: they can afford to buy them. The US really no longer can. as for manufacturing, there is no way that the US can ever compete with Asia, especially China.
First of all, the federal and state governments tax each gallon of gasoline that is purchased. So much so that the federal government makes more on gasoline than the oil companies. So, though not controlling the price of gasoline, the federal and states that tax gasoline certainly do influence the price to the consumer.
Government control is not the answer. We need additional energy sources. We should explore for energy in ANWR as well as offshore in the Gulf. We should also build more refineries. The environmentalists have virtually stopped us from these two measures that would increase our oil supply.
Its called supply and demand. We dont have the supply to keep up with domestic demand. have you never herd of the oil crisis in the 70's? The United States actually did this. Gas was higher than ever and you couldn't get it unless it was your day to buy gas. Remember we are a customer buying oil not the other way around. 3/4's of the price is the oil price. The rest is taxes. Also we buy oil from the middle east not China. China just builds all of our crap for us.

What has happened to Manmohan Singh's claim to control price hike of essential commodities within 100 days?
~ Addressing the press in Mumbai on April 25, 2009, Dr Singh had promised that, if voted back to power, within 100 days he would roll out an action plan to revive the economy
When did the 100 days begin and when were they likely to end?
~ More so, in the last 100 days, under an economist PM, we have seen a spectre of zero or negative inflation while the prices of essential commodities went through the roof! Forget the common man, it even dumbfounded the students of economics.
Even the poor middle class is unhappy paying more for their colas and chips. But not to worry, by the time the t20 world cup comes along, they will forget it all!
~ The country is hungry. The poor are struggling to stay alive. The crops have failed.
Again I am asking ';When did the 100 days begin and when were they likely to end?';What has happened to Manmohan Singh's claim to control price hike of essential commodities within 100 days?
You have a very good question, and if you would not have closed your last question, I wanted to answer the question at that time itself.
Let me start it this way. This is what I think and this is has an order, so please read it from top to end.
Part 1:
Union Government failed at this promise drastically. Some reasons I described in last question, and my very good friend Raj Kish added some more. And I also mentioned some solutions coming from my small brain. And the government is being run by eminent people. Thus they can definitely think much better than me. And if they cannot resolve resolve these issues, then I must only say, government failed on this promise.
Part 2:
Government tried to mitigate the price rise, the success rate is very low. And for the low income group and lower middle income group almost none.
1. Rate of Interest: Rate of interest has been reduced by government, so that small business owners can get loans at lower rates. But this benefit did not reach the end customer.
Interest of on Housing Loan: This is also reduced, but when we do not have money to buy essential commodities, where are we going to buy house. Eventually the two sections that I mentioned above are not at all benefitted.
2. Loan waiver for farmers: This was targeted to benefit the farmers, but the farmers that have taken loans from the private lenders did not get benefited. I do not think government can do much about this. But the biggest problem in this scheme was our system, at many places the money did not reach the right people, but did benefit the people.
3. The new tax code: This is to be implemented from tax year 2010-2011, with this tax code, tax payers have to pay lot less taxes. This will specially reduce the taxes for low middle income group and middle income group.
http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a>
This will increase the net earning of the individuals. But this is not yet implemented. And would not help the people who do not fall in the tax income bracket.
Part 3:
MY FRUSTRATION
All the mitigation strategies are kind of stimulates packages except last one and that are going to only increase budget deficit. As I mentioned in my last question, I expect the solution today, I do not want my burden to carried by my coming generations.
I am not going to make any comparison, I am not going to pass any sarcastic remarks, because by qualification I am PG in economics, and I understand why Price Rise are happening. The thing that disappoints the most is, I am not seeing anything that can cure it, I am seeing efforts to mitigate it ( they they are doing little or almost nothing).
Part 4:
My opinion on what should be done today:
I mentioned some suggestions in my last answer, I am going to repeat them and going to add more.
--- The back bone of Indian economy was and is Agriculture. And I would put it this way, the back bone of India is Agriculture. And before I make my suggestions, let me tell a very small story:
When Mr. Amithabh Bachchan's ABCL Ltd failed, and he has a series of flop movies, he was about to lose his house, he went to Mr. Dhiru Bhai Ambani and asked him,
you are a successful man, you are every where today from no where, and look at me what happened to me, what is your advice for me?
Mr. Ambani replied, what do you know? What is your core strength?
Mr. Bachchan replied Acting.
Mr Ambani replied, then concentrate first on Acting.
After coming from Mr. Ambani's house, Mr. Bachchan signed KBC and rest is the story all know.
India's strength is not only in agriculture but India's need is agriculture. And for agriculture, even after 62 years, we depend on rain.
-- If it rains less, our crop spoils
-- If it rains more, our crop spoils.
This is what huts me. We paid lot of attention on IT, we paid lot attention on telecommunication, we paid lot of attention on infrastructure, we paid lot of attention in energy, we paid lot of attention in showing India as Global Power, but the basic thing, Agriculture is still the same as it was in 1970 where Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri and Smt Indira Gandhi left it.
We need alternate source for irrigation, other than monsoon, we cannot be dependent on rain for agriculture.
Second thing that we need, is we permanent Green Revolution, we as agriculture country, do not need HARIT KRANTI for a term or two and then let the agriculture and farmers in a mess, we need permanent Green Revolution.
I have several other points to make, like middle man, small land lords big land lords, government control on essential commodities, but I don't think if I keep writing anyone is going to read it. Answer is already too long and I think I have kept my most important point that is, I think in order to keep price control first of all we have to give first importance to agriculture.
@Thanks Ratnesh Singh.
@Truth, You have to understand every question is not Congress Vs. Non-Congress fight. And I am answering you this as last edit on this question, please post your answer related to the question, I think we should be concerned when a serious issue raised. If it is a politics question, I more than happy to argue, not on a serious issue.
2008-2009, Indian economy growth rate fell to 6.7% and in May 09 it was reported as 5.8%. This is impact of Global recession.
When economy slow down happens in any nation, the first thing that happens is the cost goes up. And there are various factors behind that, and most contributing factors are profit making middlemen.
Due to Global recession both export and import was declined by both Indian exports and imports declined by 29.2% and 39.2% respectively in June 2009 for YTD and this includes agriculture products.
If a bad system existed from 15th century that does not mean that it should be abolished today. And those are in the jurisdiction of state and states are responsible.
The farmers who got there loan waved off, they could proceed with the next crop, and that is very simple to understand fact.
Rate of Interests: I am sorry, may be you don't bank in India. I was talking about Indian banks only.
And India is not one of the biggest exporters, USA, France, China, Canada top the list in agricultural export as per WTO. India is not in top 6 for sure, I don't know where does it rank.
****Final Edit: I had decided last edit as the final one, but I want to add one more suggestion that may help easing and controlling the price of essential goods, though it has its own demerits too, and that is organized retail sector. An organized retail sector would reduce or eliminate the middlemen and should ideally drastically reduce the cost, in India we have seen just opposite of this and that is because currently the organized retail sector works mainly for upper middle class and only has limited presence. But if this sector is improved this can help significantly. I am running short of space else I would have explained how, but users who are familiar with US retail market would well understand what I am talking about. That sounds unrealistic today in India but realistic future.What has happened to Manmohan Singh's claim to control price hike of essential commodities within 100 days?
BhAraT sory Victor, the Congress Govt. is very keen and very particular to reduce the prices with in 100 days. That is why they have written ';To reduce the prices with in 100 days'; on the bed room wall so that they do not forget it. Every day when they get up they are finding 100 days .... on the wall and they are feeling that they got still 100 days time. The 100 days will never end untill they paint the wall.
Since election is far away so AAM ADMi is not in the Radar of congress for now at least.
Practically they have not taken a single measure to curb the price rise,just looking at the God to rain good in next season.
Also one more thing PM is now a days busy in his new found fascination of handling India's foreign affair(Perhaps taking a clue from his past predecessor Mr. vajpayee), so parnab da is looking at it for now ,and what he is doing accept showing tantrums and anger to opposition is yet to be seen.
If an extensive search of price hikes and its relation with the congress govt.in power at the centre is done, then it will sure prove that whenever there was congress party in power at the centre, people have had to face price hikes of all essential commodities.
@MS.... Iam replying this just for u, plz don think that no body reads all the answers, i really loved ur ans. and hope we start thinking (in real sense) about the devlopment of agriculture, our backbone. And as for the ans to d quest. the 100 days will begin just before the next general elections.
Sorry, sometimes manmohanji spoke as RBI Governor unknowingly he is a pawn belongs to Sonia Congress. Take it as Joke, and keep half stomach empty.
May be still working on it. The 100 days may start any moment... better watch out. Suddenly one day everything will be free of cost
when will these foreigners learn that serious, thoughtful questions are strictly prohibited here at Y!A
you took that literally ?
any way it was better then bjp's promissorys
Must have something to do with his rash...
This 100 days will begin just before the next election till than listen and read new statements every day and keep quite ! You have no right to say anything because people of India have not given clear cut verdict to any political party.These opportunist and corrupt gang have made a deal with each other to suck the India by all means,they will accumulate as much of wealth as they can it will helpful to fight next election than again new story will be presented to you.
See how Madhu Koda have did the corruption with support of Congress and he used this money to get more seats in next election.Congress understand it and collected the proofs that will be use to fix Koda to form next government in Jharkhand as like Laloo ,Mulayam and Mayawati fixed and used by Congress.
Our GREAT ECONOMIST PM did not have the knowledge ';how to control the prices of essential commodities';.He is so innocent and fair he does not have any hand and responsibility of this price hike to unbelievable level,people are claiming that he is so faithful and honest person with so many degrees and experiences ! It is not wonder that he uses his all capabilities for just one family rather than the country and common man of this country ?
After all these facts he is leader of corrupt gang ,how can you or any body says that he is honest and fair person ?We have not seen what happened at the time of confidence motion on Nuclear deal with US ?But still people are claiming he is clean person without any corruption ! Than how much corruption he will impose on country than he will tag with corrupt person ?He have forget all the ethics,moral values and soul of constitution for just PM seat !Who will bigger corrupt than him ?He feel any shame toward the common man of India ?His all the abilities and knowledge are for the only one family who have given him the PM seat,It is biggest corruption with the Nation and constitution.
In another question in this forum one person have asked that Manmohan Singh is leader or politician, many answers stated that he is great person !What a great person who have corrupted and raped our constitution.
Keep quite up to next election,before the election his gang will come with new promises and will beg you for the vote till than have some sweet dreams of 100 days plans.

The irony is that when it comes to recession this govt claims that Indian Economy has been unaffected or not as badly affected as other nations and when it comes to commodity prices they say that this is the international phenomenon so basically they just want to shake their hands off from this responsibility, but the fact is that these two GREAT ECONOMISTS MMS and PC have failed or are not interested to do anything on this, they just want to misguide the general public with growth figures.
100 days will be counted from the day,Mother Sonia commits to control the prices of essential commodoties and will end on the day when she declares that the prices of essential goods have come down through report on media irrespective of the duration and actual price in the market.
Govt is totally responsible for Price rise so why will they make any efforts to bring down the rates of the commodities.
Reasons:
1)Exporting crops without short term or long-term measures.It shows how concerned is Congress about aam aadmi.
2)Even after drought was hit,our govt continued exporting.
3)No measures are taken by govt ,so the measures taken by govt is not known.Only to comment they say all they are trying to bring down the prices.You can say only agr fate will decide.
4)Tonnes of crops are destroyed in govt godowns FCI.What is govt doing ?nothing
4)Private players have free hands, buying directly from farmers and govt has not acted on it.
5)Once India was known for exporting but now it is coming to be known for importing crops.
All these for only one year of drought ?This is mismanagement of govt and Congress is fully responsible for price rise. Congress led UPA has made India from self-reliable to dependent nation.Even though international prices is reducing our country prices is hitting the sky.With Congress rule comes Licence Raj by default.
Yes day 1 will start only before 150 days of pre-election and ends 50 days before pre-election so that it can highlight vote bank achievements for campaigning.
@MS
Global Recession had little impact on India.Apart from that India is one of the biggest exporters of food grains and ores.As you said Indian economy is dependent on agriculture,so food commodities especially in India should be low.
MS can you please explain how is price rise in food commodities, iron and steel in India related to Global Recession?As far as I know export industries were greatly effected by recession in India.
Effected by Late Monsoon ?What were short term and long term measures taken by the govt.
Bad Distribution System and middlemen are the last things
you should complain about,this existed since Indira period.You are blaming only states for price rise ?Great
Rate of Interest and Interest of on Housing Loan reduced? I cannot see it.
New tax code: Really waiting to see if it is implemented.
Loan waiver for farmers ?How is it helping anyone ?It is like providing Ganga jal before dying.
Farmer again has to depend on loan for the next year.This was a vote bank policy by Congress during elections.
When did the 100 days begin and when were they likely to end?
~ More so, in the last 100 days, under an economist PM, we have seen a spectre of zero or negative inflation while the prices of essential commodities went through the roof! Forget the common man, it even dumbfounded the students of economics.
Even the poor middle class is unhappy paying more for their colas and chips. But not to worry, by the time the t20 world cup comes along, they will forget it all!
~ The country is hungry. The poor are struggling to stay alive. The crops have failed.
Again I am asking ';When did the 100 days begin and when were they likely to end?';What has happened to Manmohan Singh's claim to control price hike of essential commodities within 100 days?
You have a very good question, and if you would not have closed your last question, I wanted to answer the question at that time itself.
Let me start it this way. This is what I think and this is has an order, so please read it from top to end.
Part 1:
Union Government failed at this promise drastically. Some reasons I described in last question, and my very good friend Raj Kish added some more. And I also mentioned some solutions coming from my small brain. And the government is being run by eminent people. Thus they can definitely think much better than me. And if they cannot resolve resolve these issues, then I must only say, government failed on this promise.
Part 2:
Government tried to mitigate the price rise, the success rate is very low. And for the low income group and lower middle income group almost none.
1. Rate of Interest: Rate of interest has been reduced by government, so that small business owners can get loans at lower rates. But this benefit did not reach the end customer.
Interest of on Housing Loan: This is also reduced, but when we do not have money to buy essential commodities, where are we going to buy house. Eventually the two sections that I mentioned above are not at all benefitted.
2. Loan waiver for farmers: This was targeted to benefit the farmers, but the farmers that have taken loans from the private lenders did not get benefited. I do not think government can do much about this. But the biggest problem in this scheme was our system, at many places the money did not reach the right people, but did benefit the people.
3. The new tax code: This is to be implemented from tax year 2010-2011, with this tax code, tax payers have to pay lot less taxes. This will specially reduce the taxes for low middle income group and middle income group.
http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a>
This will increase the net earning of the individuals. But this is not yet implemented. And would not help the people who do not fall in the tax income bracket.
Part 3:
MY FRUSTRATION
All the mitigation strategies are kind of stimulates packages except last one and that are going to only increase budget deficit. As I mentioned in my last question, I expect the solution today, I do not want my burden to carried by my coming generations.
I am not going to make any comparison, I am not going to pass any sarcastic remarks, because by qualification I am PG in economics, and I understand why Price Rise are happening. The thing that disappoints the most is, I am not seeing anything that can cure it, I am seeing efforts to mitigate it ( they they are doing little or almost nothing).
Part 4:
My opinion on what should be done today:
I mentioned some suggestions in my last answer, I am going to repeat them and going to add more.
--- The back bone of Indian economy was and is Agriculture. And I would put it this way, the back bone of India is Agriculture. And before I make my suggestions, let me tell a very small story:
When Mr. Amithabh Bachchan's ABCL Ltd failed, and he has a series of flop movies, he was about to lose his house, he went to Mr. Dhiru Bhai Ambani and asked him,
you are a successful man, you are every where today from no where, and look at me what happened to me, what is your advice for me?
Mr. Ambani replied, what do you know? What is your core strength?
Mr. Bachchan replied Acting.
Mr Ambani replied, then concentrate first on Acting.
After coming from Mr. Ambani's house, Mr. Bachchan signed KBC and rest is the story all know.
India's strength is not only in agriculture but India's need is agriculture. And for agriculture, even after 62 years, we depend on rain.
-- If it rains less, our crop spoils
-- If it rains more, our crop spoils.
This is what huts me. We paid lot of attention on IT, we paid lot attention on telecommunication, we paid lot of attention on infrastructure, we paid lot of attention in energy, we paid lot of attention in showing India as Global Power, but the basic thing, Agriculture is still the same as it was in 1970 where Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri and Smt Indira Gandhi left it.
We need alternate source for irrigation, other than monsoon, we cannot be dependent on rain for agriculture.
Second thing that we need, is we permanent Green Revolution, we as agriculture country, do not need HARIT KRANTI for a term or two and then let the agriculture and farmers in a mess, we need permanent Green Revolution.
I have several other points to make, like middle man, small land lords big land lords, government control on essential commodities, but I don't think if I keep writing anyone is going to read it. Answer is already too long and I think I have kept my most important point that is, I think in order to keep price control first of all we have to give first importance to agriculture.
@Thanks Ratnesh Singh.
@Truth, You have to understand every question is not Congress Vs. Non-Congress fight. And I am answering you this as last edit on this question, please post your answer related to the question, I think we should be concerned when a serious issue raised. If it is a politics question, I more than happy to argue, not on a serious issue.
2008-2009, Indian economy growth rate fell to 6.7% and in May 09 it was reported as 5.8%. This is impact of Global recession.
When economy slow down happens in any nation, the first thing that happens is the cost goes up. And there are various factors behind that, and most contributing factors are profit making middlemen.
Due to Global recession both export and import was declined by both Indian exports and imports declined by 29.2% and 39.2% respectively in June 2009 for YTD and this includes agriculture products.
If a bad system existed from 15th century that does not mean that it should be abolished today. And those are in the jurisdiction of state and states are responsible.
The farmers who got there loan waved off, they could proceed with the next crop, and that is very simple to understand fact.
Rate of Interests: I am sorry, may be you don't bank in India. I was talking about Indian banks only.
And India is not one of the biggest exporters, USA, France, China, Canada top the list in agricultural export as per WTO. India is not in top 6 for sure, I don't know where does it rank.
****Final Edit: I had decided last edit as the final one, but I want to add one more suggestion that may help easing and controlling the price of essential goods, though it has its own demerits too, and that is organized retail sector. An organized retail sector would reduce or eliminate the middlemen and should ideally drastically reduce the cost, in India we have seen just opposite of this and that is because currently the organized retail sector works mainly for upper middle class and only has limited presence. But if this sector is improved this can help significantly. I am running short of space else I would have explained how, but users who are familiar with US retail market would well understand what I am talking about. That sounds unrealistic today in India but realistic future.What has happened to Manmohan Singh's claim to control price hike of essential commodities within 100 days?
BhAraT sory Victor, the Congress Govt. is very keen and very particular to reduce the prices with in 100 days. That is why they have written ';To reduce the prices with in 100 days'; on the bed room wall so that they do not forget it. Every day when they get up they are finding 100 days .... on the wall and they are feeling that they got still 100 days time. The 100 days will never end untill they paint the wall.
Since election is far away so AAM ADMi is not in the Radar of congress for now at least.
Practically they have not taken a single measure to curb the price rise,just looking at the God to rain good in next season.
Also one more thing PM is now a days busy in his new found fascination of handling India's foreign affair(Perhaps taking a clue from his past predecessor Mr. vajpayee), so parnab da is looking at it for now ,and what he is doing accept showing tantrums and anger to opposition is yet to be seen.
If an extensive search of price hikes and its relation with the congress govt.in power at the centre is done, then it will sure prove that whenever there was congress party in power at the centre, people have had to face price hikes of all essential commodities.
@MS.... Iam replying this just for u, plz don think that no body reads all the answers, i really loved ur ans. and hope we start thinking (in real sense) about the devlopment of agriculture, our backbone. And as for the ans to d quest. the 100 days will begin just before the next general elections.
Sorry, sometimes manmohanji spoke as RBI Governor unknowingly he is a pawn belongs to Sonia Congress. Take it as Joke, and keep half stomach empty.
May be still working on it. The 100 days may start any moment... better watch out. Suddenly one day everything will be free of cost
when will these foreigners learn that serious, thoughtful questions are strictly prohibited here at Y!A
you took that literally ?
any way it was better then bjp's promissorys
Must have something to do with his rash...
This 100 days will begin just before the next election till than listen and read new statements every day and keep quite ! You have no right to say anything because people of India have not given clear cut verdict to any political party.These opportunist and corrupt gang have made a deal with each other to suck the India by all means,they will accumulate as much of wealth as they can it will helpful to fight next election than again new story will be presented to you.
See how Madhu Koda have did the corruption with support of Congress and he used this money to get more seats in next election.Congress understand it and collected the proofs that will be use to fix Koda to form next government in Jharkhand as like Laloo ,Mulayam and Mayawati fixed and used by Congress.
Our GREAT ECONOMIST PM did not have the knowledge ';how to control the prices of essential commodities';.He is so innocent and fair he does not have any hand and responsibility of this price hike to unbelievable level,people are claiming that he is so faithful and honest person with so many degrees and experiences ! It is not wonder that he uses his all capabilities for just one family rather than the country and common man of this country ?
After all these facts he is leader of corrupt gang ,how can you or any body says that he is honest and fair person ?We have not seen what happened at the time of confidence motion on Nuclear deal with US ?But still people are claiming he is clean person without any corruption ! Than how much corruption he will impose on country than he will tag with corrupt person ?He have forget all the ethics,moral values and soul of constitution for just PM seat !Who will bigger corrupt than him ?He feel any shame toward the common man of India ?His all the abilities and knowledge are for the only one family who have given him the PM seat,It is biggest corruption with the Nation and constitution.

Government cannot control prices or inflation by regulation. Well they can, but that's called communism, I believe. They can control inflation, however, by swiching back to the gold or silver standard - but they won't because that would mean they couldn't run up debt like they do now.How to alleviate monopolies through government control and price discrimination with utilities.?
Not going to happen, to many rich people getting richer from it, and the repuglicans in power.
When it comes to Utility companies the monopoly is sanctioned by the government. There are actually laws in most places to keep new utilities from coming in. Governmental controls are the problem, not the solution.mineral makeup

What about the out of control gas prices?
Some of us can't afford these price and most of congress not all were looking into the oil companies. We were told about shut downs, now it is demand. Someone is stroking the consumerWhat about the out of control gas prices?
We are being conditioned to take it. Gas prices shot up, went down some, then eased back up. Bit by bit they will get people to accept any price they put on it, knowing that we need it. Anyone have a horse and carriage sitting around? ( Well, I have the horse, no carriage and he isn't road sound either).
It is like the old frog in the pot story. You put a frog in a pot of boiling water, it jumps out. Put it in cool water and warm it to boiling slowly and the frog doesn't leave the pot. As long as oil companies have the politicians in their pockets, there will be no change.What about the out of control gas prices?
At the moment gas prices are high because we can't refine oil ( i.e turn oil into gasoline) fast enough to satisfy demand.
The supply side of the problem is as follows:
We can't refine the oil because we do not have enough refineries.
We do not have enough refineries because there is a high level of political opposition to building new locations.
The political opposition is generally due to environmental concerns.
The demand side of the problem has both global and domestic contributing factors.
GLOBALLY
Oil is the primary ingredient for making gas.
The entire world needs oil to make gas.
Countries (primarily in Asia) are just starting to use cars in large quantities
Those cars need gas (which requires oil)
The demand of these countries drives oil prices up world wide (including the USA)
DOMESTICALLY
Here in the US demand is increasing for gasoline because:
1. More people drive in Spring and Summer.
2. More people use A/C at home as the temp. outside rises.
3. Americans continue to purchase ever larger vehicles.
4. The population of the U.S. is increasing which puts more
cars on the road
SUPPLY decreases while DEMAND increases = High Prices
The gas industry has around 8% profit margin. Compare that to the soda industry with around a 31% profit margin, or Microsoft with a 47% profit margin.
Gas companies are making record profits because of record sales. Shutdowns are related to demand. Because of stupidity and federal regulations, there haven't been any refineries built in the U.S. in over 20 years. The ones we have are in horrible condition and the gas companies haven't maintained them. Rather than a vast conspiracy and horrible price gouging now, it's been a generic greed over the last 20 years that has kept them from spending on proper maintenance, or the cost to build environmentally safe refineries.
Are the gas companies at fault? Yes. Are they purposefully boning you today more than usual? No. It's actually in their best interest to not let the prices get this high because it significantly alters our habits and drives demand down which causes the market to fall hard.
Gas prices are directly related to the price of crude oil. Our prices for gas right now are higher than they were when Crude was at $70 barrel. Make since not really. However, the week before Memorial Day is historically a price gouging week for gas prices. The prices usually are at there peak. ';USUALLY';!! That's no guarantee that they aren't going to hit $4 a gallon for gas it's just what past trends have always been.
I'm not sure what you mean by ';out of control';. You might mean ';subject to market forces of supply and demand';. If that's really what you mean, then I'm all in favor of ';out of control gas prices';, even if it means some pain for you and me this summer.
I'm old enough to remember the last time we had gas prices ';under control';, during the Nixon administration. I also remember waiting hours at a gas station for my turn at the pump.
Gas prices are still pretty low, measured in inflation adjusted dollars.

Who put the price controls on gasoline during the oil shocks of the 1970's?
Price controls were the brain child of another Republican Genius...Richard Milhouse Nixon.
The oil shortage though was caused when the OPEC nations put an oil embargo against oil delivered to the US. They turned the screws to us then.Who put the price controls on gasoline during the oil shocks of the 1970's?
Richard Nixon put wage and price controls in place because of inflation.
To an extent it worked,the problem is that everyone raised prices on everything just before the freeze took place and the working people got there wages frozen.
When OPEC embargoed oil to the U.S.,Carter placed gas rationing on the U.S.
Based on the last digit of your car tag,determined when you could buy gas and in some places,you were limited how much you could purchase too.Who put the price controls on gasoline during the oil shocks of the 1970's?
I bought millions and millions of barrels of oil when they cost $60--$100 a barrel. I expect to make a kill when I sell. But right now it’s only over $140 a barrel. So here is my difficulty :
I have requested my agents spin the media, like: “Oil future looks high, expecting to be in the range of $200 a barrel soon” But it does not work price up fast enough.
I have paid the mainstream media, the Think Tanks, and the major PR talking heads, to spin China and India (supply and demand) responsible for price hike, to deflect American public anger. But that does not go far enough.
Right now, I am extremely nervous and worried. I urgently need a prey to buy those “paper barrels” on my hording. So I can profit. But where can I find my prey ?

Airline industry has requested and demanded Congress stop oil speculation. I have my lobby on Capitol Hill work the Senators and Congressmen around the clock. But I do not how long they can hold.

Richard Nixon.
He was the last Republican president who had the interest of America in mind before all else.
The RNC was overtaken by ';big oil';. Nixon stood against them and was framed by the RNC for the Watergate break-ins.
The RNC, since then, has produced nothing but dishonest oil puppets as their candidates and confuse the issue with untruths about the other side. This is probably why Bush had to wear the ';wire'; during the debates and McCain can't speak to a crowd unless it's ';controlled';. Reagan always did best when his answers were ';pre-fed'; to him, too.
I was a Republican till I witnessed what had happpened to the RNC. It's now just a marketing tool for the Texas Oil Cartel. The ';Opec nation'; group was organized by American Oil Companies overseas with the help of such people as the Shah of Iran et al. This group is merely a paper group that exists solely for the Amer.Oil Cartel to place public blame upon when the Amer. Oil companies want to increase their profits.
T.Boon Pickens and the other wealthy Texas oil guys do NOT have our country's best interest at heart. They're only here to fill their pockets.
Note to Ralph T:
Gas rationing was not a nationwide situation. I lived in the midwest during this time and had no rationing.
The government, but remember that the law had no impact on international trade (which falls under no single nation's government to legislate) prices, so it could only be limited at a fairly high rate in the first place.
You may be thinking about Nixon's price controls, but they weren't about gas. The oil embargo by OPEC started the upward climb of prices back during then.
That would have been Richard M. Nixon. Many either did not live through his draconian price, and wage freeze, or simply choose to forget it.
there were no price controls

I was a Republican till I witnessed what had happpened to the RNC. It's now just a marketing tool for the Texas Oil Cartel. The ';Opec nation'; group was organized by American Oil Companies overseas with the help of such people as the Shah of Iran et al. This group is merely a paper group that exists solely for the Amer.Oil Cartel to place public blame upon when the Amer. Oil companies want to increase their profits.
T.Boon Pickens and the other wealthy Texas oil guys do NOT have our country's best interest at heart. They're only here to fill their pockets.
Note to Ralph T:
Gas rationing was not a nationwide situation. I lived in the midwest during this time and had no rationing.
The government, but remember that the law had no impact on international trade (which falls under no single nation's government to legislate) prices, so it could only be limited at a fairly high rate in the first place.
You may be thinking about Nixon's price controls, but they weren't about gas. The oil embargo by OPEC started the upward climb of prices back during then.
That would have been Richard M. Nixon. Many either did not live through his draconian price, and wage freeze, or simply choose to forget it.
there were no price controls
Has any President's approval ratings dropped this fast since Carter got rid of the price controls on gasoline?
Well it is a sign that the American public was not hood winked as badly as first suspected and that the ';hope and change'; they thought has not come out as expected.
Even the democrat controlled congress is having second thoughts in supporting the various socialist programs that are trying to be forced on America and its people.

President Obama has prevented the 2nd Great Depression.
This is the single greatest economic miracle of all time %26amp; that is no exaggeration!

And now, consumer spending [70% of the economy] is also up.
Oh, and those banks paid back the TARP money early WITH INTEREST!

He is winning back America's foreign friends that Bush alienated
He is getting us out of Iraq, the wrong war
He is putting assets back into Afghanistan, the RIGHT war.
He WILL find a way to shut down Guantanamo.
He is ending torture, making sure the world knows it,
In short, He is DOING HIS JOB!
He even told GM %26amp; Chrysler to shape up or ship out
all this in less than his first 6 months!
Soon, we will all have health care too!
ALL of our presidents should be so awfulHas any President's approval ratings dropped this fast since Carter got rid of the price controls on gasoline?

Yes. What's your point?
Way too much Federal spending. Socialism is on the way. This situation scares me. I wonder who will win the next Presidential election - it should be very interesting.
That's a trick question right? You DO recall our previous President and his ever sinking approval ratings, right?
This is not fast.
The approval rating of Bush Sr just after the first Iraq war was fast. This is not.
Maybe it's time for the Obots to break out the life jackets.
Yeah, Bush's

How we can stabilize the crude oil prices n control the monopoly of OPEC ?
Find new areas to drill for supply. Find new ways to reduce demand by getting alternative fuel vehicles.How we can stabilize the crude oil prices n control the monopoly of OPEC ?
Measures to protect the survival of the U.S. as a country must NOW be put into action.....ASAP.
Phase 1: The President would have to call for the lifting of Federal bans on oil refining on U.S. soil and U.S. ocean areas---where there's proof positive of an abundance of oil matching that of the Middle East. Extreme enviromentalists won't like this measure, but they'll just have to deal with it; they can sue the U.S. when the country's survival is secured and not before then.
Phase 2: President meets w/ ALL American Big Oil execs, giving them full throttle blessing to construct and operate new oil refineries on U.S. soil also opening existant ones long closed down. OPEC won't like that---but like the extremist enviromentalists----they'll just have to shut up and dance. Big Oil also should be encouraged to implement their refining and distribution of alternative fuels---and freeze cap their per gallon price to no more than $1.75 a gallon, for 100 years.
All US oil refineries, pipelines and tanker ships will be fully protected by US Military / Homeland Security personnel 24/7--365 w/out fail ever. And IF American Big Oil opts to fully comply w/ these measures---they'll be rewarded with nice, but fair tax breaks.
Phase 3: Ensure protection of any Big Oil concerns during Phase 2, by flipping ON the switch to distribute Strategic Oil Reserve stock to U.S. gas stations, bringing gas down to $ 1.85 a gallon, with a 100 year frozen price cap of $2 per gallon. Bear in mind: Big Oil will also sell alternative fuels as well---this way, they and their stockholders should be kept happy, while Americans can get a much needed break.
Phase 4: Limit the number of OPEC oil barrels the U.S. buys.....sharply. If OPEC can get past the itching for a fight U.S. military and speak to the President in protest---well then.....maybe the President will spare some time to hear them out. The President makes the demand to OPEC, one NOT subject to neogation, the OPEC sale of per barrel crude oil.......at $10 a barrel......price frozen for 200 years. Give OPEC 48 hours to answer on this.How we can stabilize the crude oil prices n control the monopoly of OPEC ?
Use less fuel derived from OPEC oil. When demand goes down so will the price as we have seen in the last week. Oil is down in the low 120s from 130s from reduced demand in the U.S.
International bankers have already done this through the control of the US dollar .

Birth control, price, and questions.?
I'm 16, and i've had sex once (with my 16 year old bf).
Still i know some people are going to say we're to young, but we have been dating for over a year.
Anyway the first time we had sex he used a condom but i guess we both decided it would be best if he used a condom and i had birth control because we don't want any unplanned pregnancy's.
My parents are extremely hard to talk to about this topic and i do plan on trying to talk to them again but basically they told me just not to have sex. They don't really understand.
Therefore i want birth control and i've looked up a few places (planned parenthood) near by but i don't know how much they would cost? i've heard people pay $55 a month and i really don't have that sort of moneyBirth control, price, and questions.?
You can easily check your minimal health care rates in internet, for example here - health-quotes.talk4fun.netBirth control, price, and questions.?
A lot of planned parenthoods have a program that allows teens to get birth control for free, or at least at a much lower price (it depends if you have a job and how much you make) If you call them before you go, because I'm pretty sure you need an appt for birth control anyway, they will tell you how much it will cost and what documentation to bring if you are going to get it for free.
you can get the shot you get it every 3 months and its only like $15. tell your mom that you want it so your peroids are more regualar. if you need a reason. im 17 and last year i told my parents that i was ';active'; and she FREAKEd she called his parents and she had liikke a break down. so if oyur mom is anything like mine. im sorry. lol. but umm. i tld her and she was cool with it eventually and i got BC right away
By birth control, you mean the pill right? I'm on one called Dianne, it costs about $40 for three months worth. I had to get a prescription from the doctor for it though.
Walmart sells two varieties for 9.00 per month, you need a prescription...
Planned parenthood has separate plans, no prescription, and maybe free pills..go ask....
YOU DONT NEED BIRTH CONTROL
HAVE SEX WHEN YOURE MARRIED LIKE YOURE SUPPOST TO
YOU THINK ITS COOL HAVING SEX AT 16 ???
WELL ITS NOT
I'm on Tri-Sprintec and I get my pills at Walmart for $10.
that's what they all say at your age...oh well mom and dad just don't understand...as if they were just magically adults...let me tell ya something...your parents were 16 once too and just like you your parents said the same thing about their parents....every single person thinks they're mature enough to have sex at 16....my first time was with my gf at 15....i said the same thing about my parents not understanding...well i was wrong...you will discover someday that you are wrong too....i know what it feels like to be 16...it wasn't that long ago...i'm only 21....you're gonna have sex no matter what people say....so the best bet is just go to the walmart pharmacy and get birth control or the morning after pill and have your bf continue to use condoms...that's the best bet....
Make an appointment with the people at planned parenthood and they will help you. They'll see if you have insurance and a lot of people that get birth control through them for relatively cheap or even free depending on your situation. I was on the pill for years and it cost $10 a month and just from my regular GYN dr. So talk to them about it. And congrats for really wanting to protect yourself- 16 isn't too young if you're being responsible about it and have been with the guy for quite awhile like you say you have been. I lost it at 16 too and we'd been together 9 months. We're still together and i'm a junior in college now. So be safe and i'm sure you'll find something affordable! =)

How do Conservatives justify the high price of gas when the US is in control of one of the richest oil fields?
...kind of funny actually that we could have 150,000 of the best trained military people in the world in a little country like Iraq, but we still can't even provide enough security to get oil out of the most oil-rich country in the world! HA!How do Conservatives justify the high price of gas when the US is in control of one of the richest oil fields?
We are not getting oil from Iraq. That is just a dumb assumption by people who know nothing except Bush hatred on the left. Oil prices are high because of that thing called market forces and supply and demand. Right now refineries are cutting production to retool and get ready for the summer demand.How do Conservatives justify the high price of gas when the US is in control of one of the richest oil fields?
Conservatives are not the ones behind the price of oil. It is consumers. If the price goes up and we don't buy, then the price will decrease. Supply and demand. If you complain about the price of gas and then still buy, then it is partly your fault.
To the one who mentioned OPEC, sorry but we do not buy oil from OPEC. It is a cartel, thus illegal. Take a look at this site to see US oil imports. They may set the prices, but if we continue to buy....
Conservatives have no control over fuel prices. The fact that we haven't developed a new oil field or built a new refinery since the Nixon administration has a LOT to do with it.
Perhaps, it might be because the far left won't let anyone tap the rich oil fields that exist in the US, which Congress and the EPA have put off-limits to drilling.
If the government had the control you imply shouldn't you be asking Pelosi. If Pelosi takes us out of Iraq how high will the price go?
Which oil field are you talking about? Iraq's? You think the US is actually in control over there? You can't pump oil when you're being shot at. Further, Hussein didn't think modernization or maintenance was important enough to bother with so long as he was getting enough to keep himself and his family in the lap of luxury. Additionally, there was sabotage. Now, they are unable to work until they are fixed.
Because, contrary to liberal spin, the U.S. isn't in control of the oil fields.
The people of Iraq are.
There is no justifying it. However, the lefty environmentalists don't want us to drill for anymore oil (ANWAR) or even build more refineries (EPA).
Liberals wont let us drill in ANWR. The largest portion of the price of gas is taxes. Nobody is trying to justify the price of gas, it is the market system in action.
What? Come back when you figure out the difference between politics and economics.
OPEC is our God, we can only pray to the OPEC God to give us better prices,
ironically, prayer is more effective and there's more hope in it than actually attempting to change anything with our corrupt corporatized government.
Why do Cons really believe Liberals are keeping the middle east funded because they are miraculously protecting Alaska? oh stop, it's almost comical if it weren't so sad. Give it a rest.
The price of oil is an economic one, not a political one. Oil will become incredibly pricey in the next decade.
Query ';Peak Oil';
Since the early 1970's the US production of oil has been on the decline. We are nearing the peak of worldwide oil production. Guess what happens then? Guess why we are strategically positioning ourselves in the Middle East?
Democracy? Freedom? Or is it, economic dominance of the world?
You asked for a conservative and now you shall have one. The price of gasoline is set by many factors. The panicky commodity traders are part of the problem. Every time some Middle Eastern tyrant belches they start overbidding on the price of crude oil.
Then there is the additional demand by the emerging nations like China. An awful lot of former bicycle riders buying automobiles over there.
Let us not forget that there there hasn't been a new refinery built in the U.S. since the 1970's. The old inefficient refineries have a hard time keeping the supply up and maintenance up too.
Oh, yeah, don't for get all the different gasoline formulas that various state EPA's are imposing on the refiners too. As well as all the taxes.

Why do some people think the president controls the price of gasoline?
Please state if you do or do not, and who you support in the current election?
This just astounds me and I am hoping one of you can shed some light.Why do some people think the president controls the price of gasoline?
The president does not control gas prices.
Gasoline price increases generally occur when the world crude-oil market tightens and lowers inventories.
Here's a break-down. Crude oil - The biggest portion of the cost of gas goes to the crude-oil suppliers. This is determined by the world's oil-exporting nations OPEC.
Refining costs - The cost of refining diesel fuel can be considerably higher than the price of refining regular gasoline.
The price of transportation is passed along to the consumer. Marketing the brand of the oil company is also added into the cost of the gasoline you buy.
Taxes - Federal excise taxes are 18.4 cents per gallon, and state excise taxes average 18.2 cents per gallon.
Then there is the station mark-up.service stations typically add on a few cents per gallon. There's no set standard for how much gas stations add on to the price. Some may add just a couple of cents, while others may add as much as a dime or more. This depends upon state mark-up laws.
Then there are environmental laws. Environmental standards that have been in place in some parts of the country for several years require higher environmental standards in order to reduce the amount of smog created by burning gasoline. Producing this cleaner-burning gasoline caused problems in refining, distribution and storage, which increases the cost of gas.
This is the simplified version of why fuel prices are going up.Why do some people think the president controls the price of gasoline?
Because they have a impulse to blame someone and President Bush is a nicew target. I don't agree with some of the things he has done but I know 95% or more of the cost of gasoline is out of the president's power to contral. Its called Supply %26amp; Demand!
Why is China drilling for oil right off the coast of Key West, Flordia? On Cuba's nothern shore!
Democrats like to pretend that so that they can make the present administration look bad.
I don't support either Rep or Dem. They're both part of the problem. A vote for either one is a vote for the status quo.
The President's actions and policies may effect the cost of gasoline. If we have two oilmen running the country, it gets rather suspicious, ya think?
This just astounds me and I am hoping one of you can shed some light.Why do some people think the president controls the price of gasoline?
The president does not control gas prices.
Gasoline price increases generally occur when the world crude-oil market tightens and lowers inventories.
Here's a break-down. Crude oil - The biggest portion of the cost of gas goes to the crude-oil suppliers. This is determined by the world's oil-exporting nations OPEC.
Refining costs - The cost of refining diesel fuel can be considerably higher than the price of refining regular gasoline.
The price of transportation is passed along to the consumer. Marketing the brand of the oil company is also added into the cost of the gasoline you buy.
Taxes - Federal excise taxes are 18.4 cents per gallon, and state excise taxes average 18.2 cents per gallon.
Then there is the station mark-up.service stations typically add on a few cents per gallon. There's no set standard for how much gas stations add on to the price. Some may add just a couple of cents, while others may add as much as a dime or more. This depends upon state mark-up laws.
Then there are environmental laws. Environmental standards that have been in place in some parts of the country for several years require higher environmental standards in order to reduce the amount of smog created by burning gasoline. Producing this cleaner-burning gasoline caused problems in refining, distribution and storage, which increases the cost of gas.

Gas Prices & Gas Companies saying they cant control the price of gas anymore. WHY?
Ok my question is this. I keep seeing CEO's and everyone else of oil companies saying we have to charge as much as we do to barely make it and such. If that is the case, why are they having record profits and retiring people on millions and millions of dollars. I see NO reason why gas cannot be $1.50 no matter what OPEC says or anyone else. If they are recording record high PROFIT then they can do it. PROFIT IS PROFIT!Gas Prices %26amp; Gas Companies saying they cant control the price of gas anymore. WHY?
Profit is for share holders. They invest for a return on their money. The reason prices are high has to do with the speculation on the market. Soon it will adjust itself. Hold on!Gas Prices %26amp; Gas Companies saying they cant control the price of gas anymore. WHY?
Well first, record profits are only 8%.
Exxon supposedly made 36 billion in profit last year, but Exxon sold 307 billion gallons of gasoline last year.
So even if they took no profit at all.
That would only account for 11 cents a gallon off the price of gasoline.
And your conclusion makes no sense at all,
No matter what the cost of oil, gasoline should cost $1.50 a gallon ?
What if the oil cost more than that per gallon?
Like right now !!!!!!
A barrel of oil cost $90.00, a barrel of oil has 42 gallons of oil.
Thats $2.14 a gallon, just for oil.
Now you don't think that each gallon of oil makes a gallon of gasoline do you.
Yes and then you see Detroit building even bigger SUV's with lower mileage and the US using 80% instead of 60% of all the worlds oil resources.
(The Terrorist states are laughing all the way to the bank)
Remove all the State/Local and Federal Taxes on fuel and you would have $1.50 a gallon.. hmmmm We see the Palosi congress will not budge on that and even want new taxes.... yep the Congress that promised lower gas......
Hey, if I was making that kind of insane money, I'd come up some lame excuse to keep it rolling in too.
Do we have more Refineries? Why the environmentalists prevent refining. Can we drill for more oil in the United States? No we may not because the environmentalists say we may not. Can we use oil shale? No we may not, Can we convert coal into petroleum? No. When you fail to add capacity and depend on dictators to produce oil you blame the evil oil companies while not examining your stupidity. The price per barrel is based in Liberal New York not in Conservative Texas

Conspiracy theory: Are governments raising fuel prices, food prices, to control population growth?
No. We need a larger population. Without the usual migrant farm workers, food will rot or not even be planted. When people under 45 are 65 they will have hundreds of thousands of retirees to pay SS to, and Medicare.
Zero Population Grown did its job--it robbed our nation of millions of people who right now would be building it and paying for it.
';The zero population growth movement (ZPG), which dates to 1968, is an international effort to control the world's population (which by the beginning of the twenty-first century had surpassed 6,000,000,000). American biologist Paul Ehrlich (1932鈥?) was instrumental in founding the movement. He predicted in The Population Bomb (1968) that the population would surpass the Earth's supply of natural resources, resulting in starvation and death on a massive scale. While some critics assert that Ehrlich over-simplified the issue, others believe that he is correct. Supporters of ZPG urge parents to have only two children, which is considered the level necessary to avoid an increase in population.

How can the President of the US control consumer prices?
I don't think the President can control things like the price of a gallon of gasoline, but quite a lot of people I talk to seem to believe he can. If so, how would he do it? How can the President of the US control consumer prices?
He isn't controlling it - it's the laws of supply and demand. Because economic activity is falling businesses are spending less and there is less demand for petrol. Thus, since there is less demand for petrol, the price falls.
However, he could make it fall by cutting fuel taxes, but since the government needs as much money as it can get (to stimulate growth) it is unlikely that he will authorise a tax cutHow can the President of the US control consumer prices?
Nixon did it by Presidential order in 1971.
http://www.econreview.com/events/wagepri鈥?/a>
It was not a roaring success.
Since Bush claims that Congress approved a ';war on terrorism'; he can use his wartime powers. That would allow him to try doing all sorts of things. (I have to wonder if he is going to claim the right to delay the election.)
The President can raise prices by adding taxes, tariffs, quotas, etc. (Gasoline in Europe is taxed at a much higher rate than in the U.S. and look at how expensive cigarettes have become) but that probably isn't the sort of control you had in mind. (Be careful what you ask for?)

Birth control? price?
hey so i was just wondering i think im gonna go to planned parenthood and get B.C. but i just wanted to know before hand if it can be mixed with any kind of prescription drugs or if it reacts badly with some stuff if so wat kind? also how much is this going to cost me? side effects?Birth control? price?
hey
there are like 100 different kinds of BC out there and the cash [rice for them is anywhere from $20-178.
dependeing on what is perscribed for you. if you have insurance they'll cover it,and if you dont,ask for something that has a generic available which is going to be cheaper.BC dont usually react with any medicine.but sometimes their effectiness can be decreased while you are on some medications such as antibiotics. Also some BC raise you potassium levels!
but other than that nothing really interacts with BC.
good lcukBirth control? price?
im not sure of rx interactions or side effects but planned parenthood is really cheap. you have to bring a paystub and they base it on your income...if you dont have a job then it could be free (maybe). when I had a minimum wage job some years ago and worked part-time I think I paid 11.00 for a year supply...plus they give you condoms and sometimes plan B.
It depends, your doctor can best tell you if it's going to react with prescriptions. You'll have initial consult charge ($30-$60 usually) and then it depends on what birth control they put you on. I use orthotricyclen-lo and its $25 a month...I can also have it mailed to me for an extra $2.75 a month. Hope this helps.
My birth control is $3 for 6 months supply, but it's heavily subsidised.
The following will reduce the effectiveness of hormonal birth control:
Antibiotics
Antifungals
St John's Wort
Grapefruit %26amp; it's juice
Tobacco
Vomiting %26amp; diarrhea
Laxatives
Barbituates
Anticonvulsants
Rifampim
it's $20 or free if you're a minor. It does not have bad drug reactions, but antibiotics can decrease it's effectiveness when taking it. You may gain a little weight or have small mood swings, but the pros of BC out weigh the cons by far.

Termite control price range?
It varies depending on the size of the structure. We have a 3000 square foot house and a 1100 square foot garage. It cost us about $1,200 to have ours done this year.Termite control price range?
Varies according to location, which type of termite or risk, chosen solution, size of property, access and how gullible the customer is assumed to be. You need to supply more info for a more useful answer, but it is usual to get three quotations as a minimum.

Oil is traded on a WORLD market. Bush does not control the price of oil or gas..why do people think he does?
Some retards misread my last question, so i rephrased it. WHY do people think Bush controls the price of gas, when he has no control over the price of oil. Do people realize that the price of a gallon of gas in Germany is $9 a gallon. And is $8 in Japan...etc...Bush and the government for that matter has no control over prices in the fair market.Oil is traded on a WORLD market. Bush does not control the price of oil or gas..why do people think he does?
Blame the media, the public school system, over protective moms, and tree hugging liberals who think they they know everything because they took a highschool history class but they were really stoned half of the class anywaysOil is traded on a WORLD market. Bush does not control the price of oil or gas..why do people think he does?
You are right. Trouble is most people get their information from word of mouth from others who don't know how the markets work.
Let me add and support your information on the price of gasoline. In Venezula gasoline is going for 19 cents per gallon. In Iran its going for 34 cents a gallon. In Saudi Arabia it is 45 cents a gallon. The price of gasoline in Germany, France, Great Britain and other European countries is very high because of the high tax structure to support immigration and univeral health care.
I believe that people blame Bush for several reasons.
First, he has direct and incontrovertiable ties to oil companies that create, at the very least, an illusion of impropriety.
Second, he's incharge and therefore, whether it is his fault or not, when he ran for President he had to accept that he will get both the credit and the blame for successes and failures whether he is responsible at all. Quite frankly, just like the captain of a ship, the President gets all the blame for how things are going in America, good or bad, because it is his responsibility to govern and lead and no one elses. He signed up for it.
Third, U.S. intervention in Iraq is seen, whether justly or not, as a key reason for the rise in oil prices.
Fourth, Bush heads the world's biggest economy and most powerful military. Consequently, he carries a big stick. I think on some level, Americans see Bush's inaction as a lack of caring or refusal to do anything to help them. American's know we have the big stick and they see Bush unwilling to use it, and they wonder, 'you're the guy who is so tough on terror and willing to challenge anybody on that issue, yet you won't help the average Joe by taking the big stand on oil prices with these terrorist countries like Saudi Arabia?'
Fifth, I think the fact that oil companies are posting record breaking profits is seen to be tied directly to the government, whether or not that's true.
Are you nuts? Most of Bush's associates are oil CEO's. With all of the corruption in this administration you think Bush isn't screwing the American people with oil prices?
Isn't it also convenient Bush gave Haliburton a no-bid contract for the Iraq war. He owns stock in the company and Cheney used to be their VP. Only a complete moron couldn't connect the dots.
Do you any common sense or are you a complete moron?
How would you feel if Obama had ties to oil and a history of documented corrupt dealing and suddenly the price of oil doubled? I bet you'd crap your overalls.
Beause a huge reason for the increases in the price of oil is the instability Mr Bush has caused in the middle east. There are other reasons but he has made the problem worse. Just think world oil is set to reach peak production in 2008 (we will have consumed half of the worlds easily available oil) meaning that Oil will become harder and harder to find, prices are gonna go out of this world in the future.
Well some people say he is in charge, and want to blame some one so why not bush? Well bush is the guy who goes to the places our fuel comes from and tries to negotate the price, he seems to do a good job, but i personally think it should be $9 a gallon it will teach people to conserve fuel (and not to buy hummers)
Because he is from Texas and his brother Neil is in the nasty oil business so he must be controlling the price to help out his brother. Who knows the weak minded will always believe what they are told by the mass media,its a whole lot easier than thinking for themselves.
You should know he does have the ability to shut down 10% of the world's oil reserves by not letting Iraq export... He is the head of the economy that sets world commodity prices. He contributed to ruining it.
I don't know anyone who thinks Bush has direct control of the price of oil. However, INDIRECTLY, by destabilizing the Middle East, he has had a hand in the sharp rises in the price of oil.
Some people, if they hear a couple of other people say it, they will jump on the bandwagon and believe it without doing the research and finding out the facts.
Bush derangement syndrome can affect ones ability to think clearly and act rationally.
Don't forget that There are countries in South America that only pay .14 cents a gallon!!
Because The Media and Far left have people so brainwashed that they can't see through all the smug.
The price of oil %26amp; gas is controlled domestically, as well.
Check out TX politics to find out how.
If they can blame Bush for anything they're in. Facts are secondary.
Because that's what they are used to doing. They blame Bush for everything, whether it's his fault or not.
Because they are uneducated!
People want to place the blame of anything on Bush. It goes to show you that people really are clueless.
Why? Because people are idiots.

Building Management Systems (BMS) are not a 'one size fits all' out of the box device. I have no idea of how many devices you need to control, the size of your campus, or the diversity of control you are looking for.
There are many types of systems and there are many features which can be incorporated. There are also many different manufacturers who offer competing systems.
You would need to have a system designed for your specific application and then get bids from different manufacturers.
Some of your equipment to be controlled may have boards already in them, while some do not. Some existing boards may need adapter boards to communicate with the language of your controls device.
Most systems include an on-site control station. Some have the option of remote password protected access so your Building Maint. Supervisor can be contacted directly by the system if it faults and they can access from wherever they can get on the internet.
I would suggest consulting with a controls specialist company or a Mechanical Engineer to establish your basic needs and go from there. Call the local sales rep of your chiller manufacturer for contact suggestions.lipcolor

What can be done to control the prices of consumer items in the international market?
Higher prices of consumer commodities mostly hit the poor countries more acutely. Therefore, some sort of control will benefit the majority of the people in the world who are poor. Instead of numerous charity works through hundreds of NGOs should not we investigate the possibilities of controlling prices of consumes commodities internationally, since the world is a global city now.What can be done to control the prices of consumer items in the international market?
The problem with controlling the economy at an international level is that there is no government to enforce regulations. The UN is comparatively helpless as a law enforcer - the worst it can do is enforce sanctions and that will defeat the spirit of the policies in the first place.
Consumer goods are at an equilibrium level - the price is set by the mechanics of supply and demand. If you were to forcefully low the price somehow, to ';benefit'; poorer countries, the response would simply be a GLOBAL greater demand. And when demand exceeds supply, they call it a shortage. People with the means to obtain the goods would be the ones in nations with superior infrastructure, and that small stream of supplies to poor countries would dry up. You are right to draw an analogy to a global ';city';. Drop the price of hamburgers in a city to 2 cents, and see if the poor benefit. Fact is, they probaly would be worse off.What can be done to control the prices of consumer items in the international market?
Price controls do not work, except in very rare and highly defined temporary situations.
The problem with price controls is that it ignores what people like and what people want and how that changes.
Lets imagine corn prices were frozen by law at $1 per bushel. If farmers can grow corn below $1 per bushel they will, the ones that cannot will do something else with the land like grow wheat or open a drive-in theater. If the market sets the price at $1 that tells producers what the value of corn is at the current volume sold. They can judge from how the price varies with volume supplied how much they should produce given their costs, if any.
If the law sets the price at $1 producers no longer can determine how much is wanted. If the price is too low, people will eat as much as they can get, but since farmers can make more money elsewhere, there is no corn to eat. They would volunarily pay more, but they cannot because it is illegal.
If it is too high, producers will produce too much, more than anyone wants, and so it will get destroyed.
Finally, price controls tend to impoverish, as counterintuitive as that seems. Because the prices cannot move with actual needs and wants, volume moves with costs. Low cost items get produced by the ton, so much so that you end up with a ton of waste. High cost items do not get produced at all, resulting in shortage. So everyone, rich and poor, ends up with less than what they would voluntarily negotiate with one another for. You either have a shortage, or waste which is destroyed.
The better idea is to make the world more productive, ending poverty entirely.
Price controls inevitably lead to shortages, so in the end, they don't work. And what government body could set the price of any good or service worldwide anyway?

Do u think the contionous oil price rise is goin out of control?
and it is really effecting most of the worlds economyDo u think the contionous oil price rise is goin out of control?
Out of control? Does a one footed duck swim in a circle?Do u think the contionous oil price rise is goin out of control?
Out of control , no. This is what happens to ALL products that are in limited supply and that have high demand!
Yes it is effecting the worlds economy.
Oil is an accurate reflection of a world with an out of control population. All scarce resources are experiencing rising prices, not just oil.

The gover ment should control the price we pay for gas. the oil companys have ripped us off?
the gov is already doing it to us. if we didn't have such high taxes it would be cheaper, if the gov would allow more refinery's, it would be cheaper, if the gov would allow more drilling in alaska it would be cheaper. So the rip off people is the gov. not the oil companys. And if the gov would allow us to vote on the issue it would be cheaper.The gover ment should control the price we pay for gas. the oil companys have ripped us off?
How would you like it if the government regulated the size of your pay check? Considering you are even asking this quesition implies the government already does. It probably artifically increases your pay. Listen the oil industry needs to make money like everyone else. They also expect to make a profit. What do you mean rip us off??? The price of oil is based on supply and demand. If you think the price of gas is too high, then get a smaller car which uses less of it. Why not take public transportation? The oil firms didn't force anyone to buy an SUV's. Did you know in Europe the a gallon of petro costs like $5? Don't cry about the price here. No one shed a tear for the oil firms back in the early '90's when they hurting for profit and oil was dirt cheap. Bottom line: If you think the price of gas is too high, then drive less, get a home closer to work, or buy a smaller car. Let me ask you what you drive????

Birth control price?
How much does seasnique cost? I want to get on the pill. I moved to a new state so I'm looking for a new doctor. I have no health insurance. What is the name of birth control pill you use? How many periods do you get a year with it? How much does it cost each month without insurance? I'm trying to figure out what brands I should ask about.Birth control price?
most insurance does not cover birth control anyhow-except state medicaid. this being said-your birth control will cost anywhere between 20-50 dollars a month. generict riphasic pills being the cheapest. (period monthly). nuvaring is fifty dollars. you can skip your period with ANY birth control by skipping the inactive week and starting a new pack of pills. however, this may really screw up your cycle-even with the seasonique.Birth control price?
You'll get your period once every three months (4 times per year) on Seasonique. Since you are buying 3 months at once, it will be expensive. Your best bet is, I think, a mail order pharmacy, which is generally cheaper than brick and mortar pharmacies. Some on line searching will turn up some. A cheaper option would be a different birth control pill or patch that is not as new, so you could perhaps get a generic.

Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?
What is the full price for a pack of yaz?
What has been your experience with it?
There are four pills to use while on your period- do you then start yaz with the four pills while on your period? (is this true with all birth control?)Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?
- the price depends on your insurance and where you go. if you have insurance, the co-pay will probably be $30. if you don't, it'll be a lot more, so i would go to planned parenthood to get a much cheaper price if that's the case.
- i took it for a while, and it was pretty good. worked well, made my skin amazing, and i had lighter and shorter periods. however, it made me nauseous, but i'm pretty sensitive to hormones, so you may not be the same.
- and no, you start with the first pill at the top. you start when you get your period, and it's the same with all birth control pills.
hope this helps :)Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?

Do the record high oil prices and unchanging gas prices prove that the US can control prices during election?
Oil prices hit a record high of $90 yesterday, yet gas prices have largely remained the same for some time.
Does this prove that the U.S. government can and will control gas prices during election months thus effectively removing gas prices as a topic during election?Do the record high oil prices and unchanging gas prices prove that the US can control prices during election?
No.
Oil prices are futures. Those prices are for November delivery. Come next month you'll start to feel the crunch at the gas pumps.Do the record high oil prices and unchanging gas prices prove that the US can control prices during election?
Free market, a memory?
Great question, I have often wondered this.
I have seen gas jump a $1.00 a barrel and the next day it is reflected at the pumps by .10
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
If gas prices are based on ';futures'; why is it when a natural disaster or a refinery catches fire , it is immediately reflected at the pumps?
the government gets 50 cents a gallon I think. They could give that up to lower prices but of course polititians won't do that.
NO. Oil prices are set by OPEC ( The oil producing countries ) Standard oil and others here in the United States buy that oil to make gas and other products. They charge according to cost of manufacturing these products. Our Government ( U.S.A ) has no say in the price of those products. Elections or not the price we pay for oil based products is not deturmend by politics.
If someday you choose to exercise your control of Gasoline prices let me know.
this is not the all time record gas prices.....it is for our cost of living...but if you look back gas was outrageous at one point making it the highest of all time for that times cost of living...i think it was back in the late 70's...not for sure tho....
p48_p48 beat me to the punch. My husband works for an oil company and that IS the real deal!
Gas went up $.04 this morning, so what was your question
The election is still over a year away.
it shows they can control oil prices when their dollar falls faster then a rock.
Gas just went up 17 cents a gallon here. The reason they did stay a few cents lower is because the refineries in the U.S upped their production. Apparently, that isn't keeping prices down anymore.
Oil prices are up due to the threat of Turkey and the Kurds going to war which would effect access to oil from the Mid East according to the news. That is also why the stock market was down 360.
No, the free market controls oil prices.
No, it proves that the gas prices can and will be controlled during an election by the oil and petroleum industry to prevent the issue from hurting their (republican) candidates' chances of winning. Three months of stability helps buy 4 years of fluctuation, ';unofficial'; protection.
American greed at it's finest!
Those are futures speculative prices....not actual prices
Plus not all oil purchased is used to make gasoline. Oil also makes plastics, kerosine (Jet Fuel), heating oil etc. I'd willing to bet the heating oil prices are on the rise.....did you think to check that out? Probably not.
So, just because the price of a barrel of oil increases doesn't neccessarily mean that gasoline will increase.
yes also gas prices in canada while stll higher have not risen at nearlt sme rate they have here. The politicians understand that 3 a gallon is bout where they can let it go before storm
No. Expect prices per barrel to reach $100 by the end of 2008. But not especially all due to the election crisis.
As you may have noticed tensions in the Middle East are high. Should they escalate we will be cut off from major oil supplies. Carter put US there way back when. Gas lines... beyond price availability shall be affected. I believe the US is trying but can not alter the market as current events change daily.
Ethanol stock issaid to be the best buy right now. Even new studies with coke.soda's %26amp; beer sugars have made the news. But you need a diesel engine %26amp; then almost anything can be fuel.
It may be interesting to watch after the primaries where prices go. But doubtful they will stay low as long as threats to numerous pipelines remain evident.

Price to fit cruise control to a vauxhall cavalier?
quite cheap i would imagine, it would have to the old style mechanic type from say a carlton or senator, but with a bit of modification....it might just work :D

What is the primary reason for the increase in the crude oil price and what is the remedy to control inflation
please give me the apt and explained answer for the question because this is my topic for discussion for me in the collegeWhat is the primary reason for the increase in the crude oil price and what is the remedy to control inflation
People will pay whatever it takes for fuel, so the price will keep going up- this drives up the cost of all things transported by vehicles that use fuel and makes inflation spike.
If you can solve this problem, you would have the world at your feet.What is the primary reason for the increase in the crude oil price and what is the remedy to control inflation

Do you think our Goverment with ever put price controls on fuel?
It's crazy how the fuel companies are stealing from the general public. I live in Indianapolis now and last Friday the price of a gallon of 87 octane gas was $3.19 then I drove just 112 miles to Louisville and gas was $2.99 a gallon. What's up with that?
Someone could easily make $2000 a day if they had a tanker truck.Do you think our Goverment with ever put price controls on fuel?
Probably not. It is interesting that past presidents have talked to CEOs and have delt with price raises before and our current GW Bush is doing nothing?
Report those gas stations please. its a gov website
http://gaswatch.energy.gov/Do you think our Goverment with ever put price controls on fuel?
History is some times a guide. Maybe someone should recommend that to Bush.
no because that would involve the govt killing capitalism and free enterprise...
legal theivery of gas will always exist
No they won't. The government is getting their pockets lined with 'green' just like the petroleum industry giants are.
It's the same old blah-blah-blah story.....Supply and Demand.
The only way to make a statement is to pick a WEEK and EVERYONE stop buying from that 'giant'.
Let's start with EXXON-MOBIL!
No probably not since the government is in on the price gauging. Maybe once Bush is out of office it'll go down hopefully. I get amused over every excuse they come up with just to raise the fuel 30 cents and then drop it gradually. Why can't it drop the same way they like to raise it. Oh yeah I can't forget to mention that May 15th is a boycott day to not buy any gas. This usually doesn't work, but hopefully the message will get out soon enough.lipcolor

Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?
What is the full price for a pack of yaz?
What has been your experience with it?
There are four pills to use while on your period- do you then start yaz with the four pills while on your period? (is this true with all birth control?)Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?
I just had my son January 3rd, my doctor prescribed me Yaz, and I started it that sunday even though I was still bleeding from delivering him. Basically the doctor will let you know what sunday is best for you to start it. This is the second time i've been on it, i got it first when i was 18 (but stopped taking it shortly after, didnt have insurance at the time), and i believe i was told to start it the day my period stopped.. and it's not just four pills for your period week, it's a week of unactive pills, which you take even if your period happens to stop until the whole pack is over. I've had pretty good experience with it, it's help keep acne tamed, and also no cramps on my period or PMS LOL...Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?
I don't know the full price. I pay $20 a month with my insurance. I started taking Yaz on the first day of my period, beginning with the first pink pills of the pack. The pharmacist said it was fine to start the pack on that day. I am currently in my second month. The only issue I had was bleeding on and off for the WHOLE first month. That was not fun, but it stopped by the time I started my second pack.
depends on your insurance i have to pay 50 each month
well to be honest alright, i gained alot of weight :[ was very moody always fighting with the love of my life. headaces bad stuff:p
yes the four pills are the white pills. no you start yaz when your period ends.
My Yaz is free thanks to insurance.
The typical irregularity at first occured, but I've been fine since i first started.
You're supposed to take those four pills as far as I know, and after those are gone, start the new pack.
i didn't pay for mine because i am military.... but i will say if you get on the pill and plan on getting the flu shot this next flu season use a condom or don't have sex. i got pregnant while on yaz. flu shot takes away from the birth control. it doesn't work.
What has been your experience with it?

Basically the doctor will let you know what sunday is best for you to start it. This is the second time i've been on it, i got it first when i was 18 (but stopped taking it shortly after, didnt have insurance at the time), and i believe i was told to start it the day my period stopped.. and it's not just four pills for your period week, it's a week of unactive pills, which you take even if your period happens to stop until the whole pack is over. I've had pretty good experience with it, it's help keep acne tamed, and also no cramps on my period or PMS LOL...Yaz birth control; full price? your experience? when to start?
I don't know the full price. I pay $20 a month with my insurance. I started taking Yaz on the first day of my period, beginning with the first pink pills of the pack. The pharmacist said it was fine to start the pack on that day. I am currently in my second month. The only issue I had was bleeding on and off for the WHOLE first month. That was not fun, but it stopped by the time I started my second pack.
depends on your insurance i have to pay 50 each month
well to be honest alright, i gained alot of weight :[ was very moody always fighting with the love of my life. headaces bad stuff:p
yes the four pills are the white pills. no you start yaz when your period ends.
My Yaz is free thanks to insurance.
The typical irregularity at first occured, but I've been fine since i first started.
You're supposed to take those four pills as far as I know, and after those are gone, start the new pack.
i didn't pay for mine because i am military.... but i will say if you get on the pill and plan on getting the flu shot this next flu season use a condom or don't have sex. i got pregnant while on yaz. flu shot takes away from the birth control. it doesn't work.

Is it time that the common man in the US elect a President who is ready to put wage and price controls back in
place? Do common people have some power if they grab the bull by the horns?Is it time that the common man in the US elect a President who is ready to put wage and price controls back in
It is generally accepted that wage and price controls deepened the great depression. With the economy presently faltering, wage and price controls would assure a recession.Is it time that the common man in the US elect a President who is ready to put wage and price controls back in
Yes it is, but who could it be , it looks as though Hillary is out of the pictures , so it looks as though we are going to have McCain in, going to be just like having Bush all over again.
The fair market does a fine job as long as government does not interfere.
Sadly most Americans don't have the guts to fight against corruption %26amp; abuse of power anymore.
Wage and price controls will kill the common man. Read some economics. Sheesh.
