Trump: Gasoline to Hit $7 a Gallon This Year
Money News ^ | Tuesday, 21 Feb 2012 08:55 AM | Forrest Jones

Gasoline prices could soar as high as $7 a gallon this summer thanks to supply threats stemming from Middle East unrest as well as OPEC policy, says real estate mogul Donald Trump.

Iran has already cut off supply to France and to the U.K. to protest sanctions from the west, who accuse Tehran of developing a nuclear weapons program.

U.S. military officials have said they feel they can ration with Iran, although fears are growing that Israel may consider a unilateral strike on Iran anyway, which is sending crude oil skyrocketing.

How will Pelosi and DWS spin this?

“Well you know, these high gas prices are good for the economy. People aren’t going to stores or on vacations, so they’re spending time with their families. And that’s good for the economy because....um...give me a sec...”

“But inflation will stay low. /sarc”

What inflation. There is zero inflation. That’s why banks are paying basically zero in interest, right? /sarc and raise you one /sarc.

Everybody is already tatted and pierced we are almost their...

I saw that movie as a disturbing vision of an apocalyptic future more so on the cultural side. Now we have people walking around looking like the actors and we think nothing of it.

Now the quest for fuel begins and the sad news is we have plenty of it if we would only drill and build some refineries.

ABC just reported on the rising cost of gasoline prices and as expected, NOT ONE WORD about Obama and the government. It was all about the oil companies..........

Back during the Bush administration, the MSM was all over Bush, there wasn't one article that didn't implicate him and the Republicans being in collusion with "Big Oil"........

Those are just the stations in and around Disney/Epcot to cheat the tourists who don’t know where the “regular” stores are. Get 5 miles away and the price is $2.50/gal less.

If prices stay above $4/gallon thru the summer it will make it much harder for him to win.

Actually it won't. If the MSM doesn't link Obama to the rising costs as they are neglecting to do right now, they can successfully blame the rising costs to big oil and the Republicans.....which is their intent.

I liked the kid. He was a really good little actor, considering that he couldn’t say anything. I remember the total joy he had in his face when Max gave him the music box.

I just filled up @ $4.17 and a friend in San Francisco just paid over $5.

Not even Memorial Day.
