Too bad. That would take strong leadership, willing to send a message. We don’t have that kind of leadership.

They’ll keep raising the price of fuel, causing all other prices to rise as they are now, causing all kinds of economic hardship across the board.

Lets look at who’s making money off this. The oil industry, the A-rabs, the Feds, and local state governments in the form of taxes. They know as well as I do, if this keeps up, even many of the people renting wont be able to pay their rents, pay their bills. People will stop buying all kinds of crap, hurting most everyone economically, tourism, restaurants and big ticket items will only be afforded to the well off.

I think they want to see how much they can squeeze out of everyone, until the whole game totally collapses, and if prices continue upward, it will.

Too bad people are so brainwashed by the envirowhackos and “global warming” that such facts go in one ear and out the other.

There is no "they". OPEC is a cartel and a crime syndicate, greens want America destroyed as the focus of capitalism in the modern world. The rest is simply markets running their usual stupid haywire way. It is a bubble. Also, nobody needs to squeeze anything, everyone with anything gets richer off the country doing well. Self interest here has nothing whatever to do with it.
