    GOVERNMENT FINDS MONEY AND PAY. IS HE LISTENING TO HIMSELF, I HOPE IS NOT WEREKO'S MONEY. IDIOT

  • Obenfo 11 years ago

    I can't believe a scholar in Dr. Brobey's caliber will analyse information in such low standard. He knows the public is not bearing the full cost of the ex-refinery at ex-pump prices, so somebody is paying the difference.

    Yes, Brobby is not an Economist. He is in fact and basic knowledge a Geologist. So, do not listen to him when discussing basic economic issues.

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 11 years ago

    If that is the case, the government is subsidizing. Any attempt to shield the public from bearing the full cost of the product while the difference is been paid with government funds is subsidy.

    However, do prices go do ...
