Hi Boone, Here today to post a request to friends to track down federal legislators and tell them our petroleum costs have and will increase as a result of Iran's threat at the Strait of Hormuz. You predicted this, but our legislators have failed to act in the best interest of our country. As this security situation evolves, please offer a prediction on the cost at the pump to Americans. The price per barrel of petroleum has increased 2% as I write this post.

Totally agree with you, Tim. The only thing I would change in your post is the word dumb although it is apt. My choice would be "grievously impenetrable." Ninety-eight percent of these fools have no business being in Congress. The phrase "serve the American people" is totally foreign to them.

Dear T. Boon I am representing National Standard Finance. Please let me know if you have any financing opportunities that meet our guidelines: We offer 100% FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS GLOBALLY National Standard Finance is a leading global investment management company that provides 100% project funding through sale-leaseback and built-to-suit lease-based structures for government agencies, large corporations, major utilities and energy providers worldwide. National Standard and its managed investment vehicles are capitalized by world class institutional investors and leading investment banks. Our current transaction size is from USD$25M - $1B, and larger on a case-by-case basis. Our investments are long-term, varying from 10 – 30 years. Our lease-based transactions can be structured under either an operating lease or a capital lease wherein the client retains all the tax benefits of ownership during the period and regains full ownership at the termination of the lease period at no additional cost. And the lessee retains freedom and full control over the property or asset just as they would in ownership. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT AND OBLIGATION OF THE PROJECT OWNER IS AN UNCONDITIONAL LEASE GUARANTEE FOR THE REAL ESTATE ASSETS FROM AN ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENT-GRADE CREDIT-RATED ENTITY. Under certain conditions, projects can be funded though bank instruments (Bank Guarantee’s and Stand-By Letters of Credits) from 'top tier' world banks ONLY. Please advise if I can provide further information on our 100% project funding structures and if you or your friend in Panama have projects which meet our guarantee requirements. Thank you.
