AND GAS PRICES WENT DOWN. NOW GAS PRICES ARE RISING AGAIN MORE THAN MOST AMERICANS CAN AFFORD, AND NOW YOU'RE BEING TOLD-"GAS PRICES ARE GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY" WHY? BECAUSE THERE'S A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND DOESN'T WANT YOU TO DRIVE, AND WILL NOT DO NOTHING TO HELP THOSE THAT HE PROMISED TO PROTECT! SO WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF POLITICS, FOLKS! THE OBAMA REGIME!
THIS IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE SUCH AS THIS WHO ARE NOTHING MORE THAN LEFTIST SOCIALIST PUNDITS SHOULD'NT BE ALLOWED TO GIVE ANY TALKING POINTS OR GIVE SUCH "OPINIONS" TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC! IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LUNATIC IS DEAD WRONG! AND SIMPLY EMBARRASSING TO THE REST OF US! UNDER THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION THESE SAME PUNDITS WERE RAISING HELL AND ACCUSED BUSH AND BIG OIL SHARING THE SAME BED. SPECULATORS WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE HIGH PRICE OF GAS AND OIL.-
"They lend viability to money intensive energy projects" Bio fuel, hydrogen and electric cars are alternate fuel sources. They are costly and aren't efficient yet. If the increased price went to funding alternative fuel sources, it wouldn't be as bad. Giving direct profit to corporations and "speculators" is not a good use of money. The speculators in the housing market prevent the market from bottoming out. Houses resell, gas doesn't. Supply and demand will balance without speculators.
"I think the best solution to high oil prices is high oil prices" and I think you're a dumb ass.
"They spur us to conserve" No, they limit the citizens and force conservation. National min wage is $7.25 - around $6 after taxes. At a decent 20mpg with $4/gal, that's 30mi per hour of work. Most people with a full time, min wage job are willing to drive up to 15 miles per direction. So going to work 5 days a week, gas drains 12.5% of their earned money.
@pyro226 - Apparently, this cueball who calls himself a "journalist" doesn't realize that many Americans cannot afford to conserve anything, many are still out of work and they need to drive, and those who have jobs can't afford to fill up their tanks much less feed their families. Speculators are back to their old tricks again, and the media will tell you it is not speculation or speculation is good, and blame the fault on the Middle East uprisings or something else. That's why I do follow-
Nonsense! Most folks can't afford a hybrid car, most folks drive an auto worth below 10k. Higher gas prices will destroy the working class. If our nation had a decent public transit system it would be different, but most areas of this country don't, and we have been forced to drive ourselves. So here we are again, the solution to yet another ill created by the rich is to punish the poor and working classes. Great idea jackass.
@iwillspyonyou I completely agree with you but I think there are other factors besides just the value of the dollar that are affecting the price of gas such as demand from other countries like China and India and instability in the middle east.
@iwillspyonyou No way! How can they be wrong, they are on TV? Joke. High gas prices are common all over Europe cause they tax the shit out of it in hopes of having more fuel efficient cars, less cars on the roads, and raise revenues at the same time. The US wont have any of that. This fool just said that the greedy fatcats who are driving up the gas price are good and that we should be like them and invest our (deflating) $. He sounds like a carny barker roping fools in for a shell game.
