Completely agree. As with hurricanes, tornadoes, bridge collapses, money, oil is just yet another area Dave constantly lies about.

Hurricanes hit = check

Tornadoes hit = check

bridges collapsed = check

country broke = check

gas prices soaring = check

LK and rest of Republicans benefiting from said checks = History will show their lies and hate for the U.S. forever

There isn't a single person who benefits from your foolish posts. Nobody benefited from you claiming that the MSP bridge collapse was from the supports being damaged in an earthquake. Nobody. You pretended to know something you had no idea about. Just the same as everything else.

How's your lawsuit going?

Well, it isnt going to help, of course, so thanks for pointing out the obvious. I think you missed my point though.

Your point just made very little sense.

The trend is from a low price $38 per barrel to $95. That is not a fluctuation. That is a trend over the last 2 years.

The CRB spot index moving from 200 to 345 is a trend not a fluctuation.
The GSCI Enhanced Commodity Index moving from 466 to 750 a trend not a fluctuation.

Commodities are in an upward trend. Fluctuations are short-term the trend is the killer and the trend is definitely going up.

April WTI up $5.75
March Brent up $3.22.

Surprisingly high volume considering it is Washingston's Birthday.

Who was it saying that it wouldn't hit $6?

Who thinks there won't be riots at $6?

I think the Chicago PD are right.

There is no way people making low wages will be able to afford to go to work.

It's going to get ugly very fast.

The middle east is why we need to be developing alternative fuels now instead of waiting longer. This shit is only going to get worse.

Oh, and Londo...glad you're happy paying $2.79 for a gallon of gas.

It's far better than the $3.25/gallon you were crying about the other day.

It was $3.19 that I was crying about and I would cry if it were $2.79. I would pay $5.00 per gallon of something else if:

A: We made it.

B: We could flip off the fucking middle east.


Big oil wins...but of course, you don't mind...you're part of the big oil industrial complex.

Yes, that's right I was on a trip to South America last week trying to sell American made goods to a foreign owned refinery.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with high gas prices and the effect it is having on the overall US economy. Didn't lower my gas price one bit. Good for you though.

Gas prices to double on Middle East Unrest

Concerns that violent protests spreading in Libya could disrupt crude supplies from the OPEC nation have started pushing oil prices higher this week.
That article is about a murder.
Who was it saying that it wouldn't hit $6?
Nobody?
Who thinks there won't be riots at $6?
Who thinks it won't rain at $6?
I think the Chicago PD are right.
About what?

The middle east is why we need to be developing alternative fuels now instead of waiting longer. This shit is only going to get worse.
Whether out or malaise or necessity the US is clearly not going to have a mix of viable alternative fuels in place before gas prices get appreciably higher. People's attention spans are flea-like. Light truck sales are nice and high now. People don't seem to pay attention to the slow boil of gas prices or realize that speculation or not a repeat of 2008 could happen. And even if it doesn't the trend as Yoxxy says is higher over two years now. A trend of that duration is less like a bubble and more like a new normal.

Wow just wow, selling American made industrial products and keeping jobs in American is not helping the economy. Damn, you're beginning to sound just like Dave.
