As America falls deeper into recession, we need to call on our "OPEC Buddies" to help us out.. After all,last month Jobs report told record numbers of our fellow Americans are out of work. Millions of our fellow Americans will lose their jobs. Millions of Americans have lost their homes. Business vacancies are in record numbers. ORAN, Algeria (Reuters) - OPEC ministers could make their deepest oil supply cut ever when they meet on Wednesday to combat shrinking demand, bulging stocks and a $100 collapse in prices. For many in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, up to 2 million barrels per day (bpd) must be removed to keep up with a slump in consumption that has knocked two-thirds off prices since July. “We have to act – we see a very sizeable reduction,” OPEC Secretary-General Abdullah al-Badri told reporters on his arrival on Monday in this western Algerian city. OPEC President Chakib Khelil agreed. “Everybody is supporting a cut – I don’t have any doubt about it.” Benchmark U.S. crude rose more than $3 a barrel in early trade to top $50 – still far from the “fair” price of $75 a barrel identified by Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest crude exporter, at the end of November.
