The price of av gas


Is up over 70 percent SINCE Harry and Nancy and the Democrats took control
of Congress


it is, but the causes were put into place well before that, by Bush
and the Republicans. Starting wars in oil producing regions -- not
good for gas prices. also... well see below.


Fuel prices are up across the globe, I think you need to lower demand or
increase supply, nothing short of one of those will fix the problem.


Fuel prices are up across the globe but we in this country are getting
bigger increases than most. Consider that while the price of a barrel
of oil has quadrupled since 2000 in dollars, it's "only" doubled in
Euros. The weak dollar is killing us and is responsible for at least
$1 a gallon of the price run-up. and the weak dollar is caused by:
tax-cut and war driven deficits and interest rate cuts trying to save
the doomed housing market, including the holders of all those toxic
waste CDOs.
