Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), one of the loudest voices in the current battle royale between Congress and what many legislators have decided are evil speculators, has taken another stand by blocking the nominations of CFTC Acting Chairman Walt Lukken, Commissioner Bart Chilton and first-time commissioner nominee Scott O'Malia. "I want them to do their job," she said in a McClatchy news story. But many industry insiders are maintaining that the CFTC IS doing its job - that it's not their job to control prices. And several experts we've talked to say that many of the bills being tossed around Congress by Cantwell and others designed to lower the price of oil show a huge misunderstanding by legislators about the way markets work and may actually raise the price of oil and drive investors out of U.S. markets. One commentor on our blog jokingly suggested that all candidates for Congress must first pass a course in economics before being entitled to speak or write about anything related to commodity or financial markets. So how will this Congressional firestorm end? What do you think?
