Well I didn't mean to insinuate anything. But it would sound like you are saying that high prices if they come as the result of a free and unfettered market are good for the economy.

I never said anything remotely like that.

A better way to put it would be: "Prices which come as the result of a free and unfettered market are better for the economy than prices determined any other way".

Which I agree with.

But I do not agree that the oil market is free and unfettered.
