Oil prices jumped on Thursday to a new ten-month high, with U.S. crude rising above $90 a barrel for the first time this year.
West Texas Intermediate crude rose by more than 1.9 percent on Thursday to reach a high of $90.29 a barrel, the highest level since November of last year.
Brent crude, the international benchmark most closely related to gasoline prices in the U.S., rose by nearly two percent to $93.68.
The rising price of oil comes at a particularly challenging time for American consumers.

Big island of Hawaii, I pay $4.69 locally and $4.45 in Hilo.
A good portion of that is for taxes that the government can’t even spend in a timely manner on our crappy roads(too much red tape).
All our problems are due to Democrats. We would all be rich if we didn’t have them dragging us down.

Trump is great on getting rid of barriers to the energy sector and would be an improvement from “day one.” Any democrat is horrible on this issue and will exacerbate the problem worse.
What do independents and *female voters think?
You know the people that supposedly hate Trump, the people we have to coddle and baby every election, the people that don’t give a crap about conservatism.
Because they aren’t impressing me with the way they think or vote on the energy sector.
* Female voters in this use, is in no way directed at the Ladies of Free Republic, you gals are great and deserve your own category.
