The author of the piece makes a point that you rarely see made in the MSM. The borrowing practices of the US government and the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve are driving the US$ down and commodity prices up. It is as simple as that.
Moreover, Hussein's obvious energy policy helps tighten supply and drive prices up even further. Will gas go to $5 and $6? Why not? It is unstated government policy to drive up the price of ALL energy, especially so called "fossil fuels".
The solution is as simple as the cause: DRILL, DRILL, DRILL. Build coal to oil plants. Build nuclear plants. The US has the technology, it only lacks the political will.
The US economy will decline as long as Hussein is in the White House. Count on it.
