“Funny, I don’t hear Republicans rail against speculators. Could that have anything to do with the fact that hedge funds and money managers are bankrolling the GOP as never before?”
Really, Robert? Got an evidence to back that up, or are you just going to throw that out there in hopes that the uneducated democratic voter base laps it up without a hint of skepticism?
This comment is absurd on a lot of levels.
First, investment banks such as Goldman Sachs who are major players in commodity funds bankroll Dems more than pubbies.
Second, using speculation to spike prices can only happen if there is a fairly tight supply - and eventually that bubble will pop as it did in 2008 as consumers cut use.
The GOP's solution is to increase supply. The Dems LIKE high gas prices.
