The socialist Hugo Chavez, by nationalizing the Venezuelan oil industry, and firing all the experts they employed and using the Venezuelan oil industry as a jobs program.





Venezuela oil industry now employees three time the employees, it employed before it was nationalized.

Increasing oil prices.Could a US President and his Saudi pals manipulate market forces to cause a rise in the price of oil?
No. While Saudi Arabia has a major share of the known oil, it does not have enough to cause the rise in oil prices we have seen. The recent raise in prices has been caused by old fashion market forces. Suppliers have kept the supply at a set amount, while the demand has gone up. This will either lead to price increases or shortages.
