So a barrel of oil is at the price of what a fill-up cost me a few months ago.

“...its lowest settlement since April 2009.”

Reminds of that BTTF song, “Back In Time” by Huey Lewis and The News.

The last and only time oil dropped this far this fast was back in 2008. The economy crashed and Leftists elected a messiah.

“I’m still saying $28 a barrel for oil when the speculators start to bail. They can only hold the price artificially high for so long.

It’s taking a bit longer than I thought that it would. But we seem to be heading that direction finally.

Obviously the only solution is to increase the gas tax by $2.00 a gallon.

Someone call John Thune.

In short, Adam Smith's invisible hand just did a number on all the oil speculators.

Between expanded US production, that US$400 billion deal between China and Russia that may include oil production in eastern Siberia, and increasingly strict fuel economy mandates around the world for motor vehicles, this would result in a major glut of petroleum in a few years.

Enjoy the short term prices. Once the Muslums drive out the highly-leveraged operators in America, the prices will go higher than they were before. You can count on it. That is their end game.
