Folks, the economy sucks. College graduates from last year can’t find jobs. Gasoline prices are obscene. It is costing me over $50 to fill up my small car. Prices are going up. Anyone would be a fool to vote for Obama and 4 more years of this. Plus Uncle is sticking his snoot into everything.
Gas prices are a whole nother intrigue. In nominal dollars oil is not twice the price that it was when GWB left office, yet gas is. And funny, nobody’s been beating up on “big oil” about it either. I get the idea that environmental rules, whether real or feared, have been keeping the competition down in the refinery biz — kind of a government forced oligopoly.
